Big News on the Design Front: Kravet to Potentially Purchase Brunschwig & Fils

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BRUNSCHWIG & FILS ANNOUNCES RESTRUCTURING

Kravet Provides Financing and Bids to Purchase Company

New York –January 14, 2011 – Olivier Peardon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Brunschwig & Fils,
announced today that the family-owned company has filed for Chapter 11 restructuring and, concurrently,
that Kravet, a fourth generation family company, one of the largest privately held distributors of fabrics and 
home furnishings with locations worldwide, has agreed to buy Brunschwig & Fils subject to a competitive
bid process.

Kravet has agreed to provide financing to ensure that Brunschwig & Fils can continue as a
financially sound trading partner during this time of reorganization.

Mr. Peardon stated, “The restructuring is a business decision that will not affect the quality of our
products, or present and future orders.  This restructuring will improve our services and supply chain flow.
Our relationships with the lines we represent remain intact and the Brunschwig & Fils Design Studio 
is creating new patterns for future release.”

Brunschwig & Fils is an internationally respected brand that, for the past 110 years, 
has been the preeminent destination for luxury fabrics, wall coverings, trims, lighting, furniture and accessories.

Kravet, throughout its 93 years in business, has firmly established itself as a distributor
of high-end brands such as Lee Jofa and GP&J Baker. For information on the Chapter 11 filing 
or the auction process, please contact:  Halperin Battaglia & Raicht, LLP, 212-765-9100, Alan D. Halperin, ahalperin@halperinlaw.net or Robert D. Raicht, rraicht@halperinlaw.net, or Charles D. Benjamin of

I Love The Impact Of A Glossy Black Door

Beautiful Handmade Porcelain Flowers by Elizabeth Prince

These delicate wall sculptures were formed by hand from high-fired white porcelain.

Porcelain has a beautiful translucent quality shown in the image where it is held up to the light - some of the light shines through the flowers.

Antiquing Weekend

at Fearington Village barn.

It is snowing as we turn in with clear skies ahead.

The barn

Always attracted to samplers and the bluebirds are unusal-

I love this original

blue painted chest.

Great old crock to serve and keep cool liquids with lots of blue

decoration

Old Metal hat used as part of a trade sign

The gun is HUGE!  Another part of a trade sign.

Unusual butter pat mold with carved cow.

Other goodies 

I love this old folk art drawing.  It just

makes you smile.

There were lots of old hand forged iron work.

I collect heart-shaped things.  

Hand forged iron lizard 

Different representations were made to ward off evil spirits.

The snakes are interesting too.

Feather ware- the blue edges were painted using a feather. The leaf shaped

bowl is unusual.

As we leave the barn the snow starts again.

A great day with lots of treasures.
