Frieze upholstery fabric

What is frieze upholstery fabric? This subject comes up on the blog now and then. It’s a very desirable vintage upholstery fabric that was used widely back in the day. One example, from my hoard, is shown above. Frieze is a tightly-looped upholstery — probably a man-made fiber — has a plastic-like feel — will likely leave a pattern in your face if you sleep on it (!) — may be looped into a design, or not — generally has a sheen — rough to the touch — but durable as all heck.

Tip to view photos: On a desktop computer, click the photos and they should enlarge up to 1,000 pixels wide on screen.

Above: Another example from my hoard. I have quite a few yards of this. No design, per se. Just neverending gobstopper frieze.
