Take a Ride in Montgolfier's Balloon

When Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier and François Laurent d'Arlandes lifted off of the ground inside of the globe aérostatique, the first hot air balloon on the 4th of June, 1783, they not only propelled man hundreds of feet into the sky but paved the way for many subsequent advances in manned flight. What a lofty achievement.

Robert Allen's tribute to early balloon flights is perfectly encapsulated in Balloon View, a wonderful tapestry that Drapery Row recently acquired. Balloon View is a cotton and polyester fabric fit for upholstery that features a cream base and a sky filled with hot air crafts in festive colors and vintage styles.

12 yards are all that remain of this classic Robert Allen pattern. Price per yard $26.85.
