Highlights for the April Auction include several White House fabric lots including three shuttle loom, silk lampas panels that are the original working samples for chairs in the Blue Room, and which were designed by Mrs. Scalamandre for Jackie Kennedy's restoration initiative that later became a landmark television special.

These panels feature golden eagles, wreathes, and rosettes on a French blue ground and include certain design quirks that did not make the production run.

Other White House fabric includes eight yards of lemon yellow Georgian silk damask woven in the 1970s for the draperies now hanging in the East Room, and almost five yards of a four field silk lampas first reproduced in the 1940s and woven again in the 1970s for the window treatment in the Nixon's private dining room.

LLDSS is owned by Web & Jill Wilson who each began their antiques careers over 35 years ago. In 2004 and 2005 they managed two extraordinary on site sales for the Scalamandre Silk Company in Long Island City, New York that generated world wide publicity and led to the creation of the LLDSS website.
