F. Schumacher a maker of exclusive European fabrics, launched Waverly® in 1923 to bring home décor to the emerging market of American consumers who desired accessible style. The first collection consisted of eight patterns by American designer Cy Clark, and its instant popularity led to a rapid expansion of the line. Waverly responded to consumer requests with the addition of its coordinating wallpapers in 1939 and the Waverly® Home Fashions division in 1951, bringing its fabric collections to a gamut of home furnishings. The “Waverly® Signature Look,” including the company’s famous Glosheen chintzes, florals, stripes, and plaids became synonymous with American décor, evolving into a legacy which represents quality and timelessness.
