J. Robert Scott Welcomes Countess Von Eckermann
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) June 22, 2016 -- J. Robert Scott, Inc. the internationally known luxury furniture and textile manufacturer founded by hall-of-fame designer and company president, Sally Sirkin Lewis is pleased to announce representation of Swedish luxury textiles brand, Countess von Eckermann in company-owned showrooms in the United States and United Kingdom.
J. Robert Scott is a destination location for the finest hand crafted custom furnishings. The inclusion of the exquisite hand loomed Countess von Eckermann products for the home is a natural marriage of heritage, and elegance.
“The design community has long considered J. Robert Scott a trusted resource for highly customized and personal service.” says Ms. Lewis, “Now we can offer an even greater asset to those in search of the ultimate in specialty textiles.”
Founded in 1950 by Countess Ebba von Eckermann, the textiles enterprise was a means to open the doors of commerce to the women whose husbands worked on the estates in the Swedish countryside. The tradition of weaving was a long established skill, and the Countess had a gift for fashion that created a synergy of style and commitment to the community. The customizable textiles (throws, pillows, and also available in yardage) are entirely hand woven of cashmere, virgin wool, and silk, many on the same looms originally used by the Countess. The signature finished pieces are bound by the highest quality goatskin which has been prepared with attention to the environmentally-friendly, natural tanning process. The resulting textiles are sophisticated, visually rich and a tactile example of true luxury. (http://www.countessvoneckermann.com/history.html)

The philosophical foundation of the company has never strayed from the values established decades ago, and now the brand has been entrusted to the hands of Carl von Eckermann, Countess Ebba’s grandson.
“We found an ideal partnership with J. Robert Scott to showcase our home products and yardage, because we both know the true meaning of exclusivity, and luxury in textiles.” says Carl. “We are proud to offer Countess von Eckermann textiles to a new audience, with the promise of beauty and enjoyment.” (http://www.countessvoneckermann.com/the-history-movie.html)
