Our Collection: virtually limitless design resources.

At the heart of Patricia Nugent Design and Textiles is our dynamic, expansive Collection—rare and exclusive historical pattern documents that number in the hundreds of thousands…and counting.

Encompassing not just textile swatches, but actual garments, paintings, wallpaper, and other design documents in diverse genres, our Collection is focused on timeless designs from the 1790s through the 1970s. Each piece is meticulously catalogued within our database for easy reference. Clients have the opportunity to see everything available within a specific pattern, should they choose.

If you’re a trade professional who seeks a creative new design language that will resonate with your customers, or one who craves inspiration from the genuine warmth and rich patina that only an antique or vintage look can provide, you’ll never fail to discover something different and unique here.

Below is a broad overview of our available pattern/texture categories. If you are looking for a particular category not shown here, please ask—we also offer crochet, ethnic embroideries, needlepoint, men’s and women’s suitings circa 1890-1950, and much more.
