Actually, Prelle is a 5th generation furnishing textile company. Prelle started in 1752 and had has such patrons like Josephine Bonaparte, Versaille, and even the residences of the Vanderbilt's. Our tour guide was super enthusiastic and gave a great history of loom/silk/textile industry of France. Here is the link: Prelle I really loved, loved, loved the works of Philippe De LaSalle. Prelle had quite a few Marie Antoinette fabric archives, so Versaille ordered reproductions which currently outfit the palace. (So if you watch Marie Antoinette, the movie by Sofia Coppola you will see Prelle fabrics).
