Croscill history

Croscill initially concentrated in draperies and became known for a particular style in 1946. The Croscilla style of valance was a refreshing take on the Priscilla valance. The Croscilla was Croscill’s own take on the classic window treatment that featured a bolder and fuller silhouette because of the way the fabric stretched across the whole window and covered the curtain rod completely. This new style easily became one of the classics in window treatment.

The 1960s saw Croscill delve into the boudoir or bedroom. Comforters were the chosen targets of Croscill desginers, who aimed to take the drab and bulky warmers to new and more contemporary heights. What once were overlooked implements for use in the bedroom suddenly became pieces of functional art under the Croscill brand. Drab and plain comforters had been transformed into fabric landscapes of pattern, color and design. Instead of being just boring old beddings, Croscill comforters became the bedroom’s centerpiece.

The 1970s and the 1980s proved to be Croscill’s most prolific years. By this time, the company has branched out to different avenues of design and style. Lamps, lampshades, table runners, and wallpapers to name a few were the other products that Croscill set their designing chops on. Croscill focused on even the minutest details in made these implements with such style that further propelled their popularity further up. Croscill set an example in furniture design and engineering that eventually became the benchmark in the industry.
