"Muse, magician, patron, merchant, maker of myths ― all these terms have been used to describe Madeleine Castaing, whose style continues to bewitch and hypnotize. Reader, dreamer, traveller, second-hand dealer and ― although she found the activity inherent in this term in bad taste ― decorator. During her almost century-long life, she took on all these roles with passion. Thus begins Emily Evans Eerdmans' detailed and fascinating study of the incomparable Madeleine Castaing. While modernism was in full swing in the early and mid-twentieth century, French antique dealer and decorator Madeleine Castaing created her own style, a unique blend of neoclassicism, Proustian romanticism, and pure French spirit. His aesthetic vision has inspired the masters of taste on both sides of the Atlantic and his followers are legion today as in the past. This book, the result of a research carried out with competence ― the first of its kind ― explores all facets of the life and work of Madeleine Castaing. After presenting her childhood and her life as a schoolgirl in a convent near Chartres, the author looks back on the years in this epicenter of Parisian artistic life that was then Montparnasse as lived by Madeleine Castaing, who discovered there in the company of her beloved Marcellin the taciturn artist Chaïm Soutine and a number of masters of modern art. After a few impetuous years spent in Paris, the Castaings retired to their country house, Lèves, which she made into what can be considered her masterpiece, a veritable laboratory where her style took shape and where her unparalleled vision blossomed. All the elements of the Castaing style ― leopard carpet, opaline blue, "coolie" lampshades as well as an eclectic mix of neoclassical furniture (ranging from Regency to Napoleon III) ― were put to use in this romantic house. During the Occupation, Madeleine Castaing boldly transformed her decorative stylizations into a profession in its own right. After the war, she opened her legendary boutique on rue Jacob in Paris, which was frequented by a conquered and loyal clientele. Always curious and tirelessly striving to create living environments that reflected the magic of her eccentric aesthetic, she worked until she was eighty years old. When she died in 1992 at the age of 98, she left a legacy that is still unmatched. In addition to more than 250 illustrations, this book contains an appendix devoted to her favorite fabrics and rugs, both made by others and produced by her.

Super soft! Love this!
Color: 03 - Beige, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
This GentleSoft Luxury Faux Fur Throw Blanket is a cozy and stylish addition to any living space. The faux fur texture feels incredibly soft and plush, giving it a luxurious feel that’s perfect for curling up on the couch, adding extra warmth to a bed, or simply elevating room décor. The beige color is neutral and elegant, blending easily with a variety of home styles. Despite its fluffy, shaggy appearance, it feels lightweight while still providing excellent warmth and comfort. The 50x60-inch size is ideal for personal use while relaxing, reading, or watching TV. It also makes a thoughtful gift thanks to its soft feel and attractive presentation. Overall, this blanket offers a great mix of comfort, warmth, and decorative appeal at a very nice value. My suggestion is to not dry it.

So Good I Need Even More!!
Color: 03 - Beige, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
This is one of the softest most luxurious blankets I have ever found!! Absolutely beyond compare. Lovely and comfy, it’s beyond a steal of a deal. It doesn’t fall apart or tear, and it holds form after wash instead of shrinking. I need more!!

Soft, well made
Color: 02 - Pink, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
Bedsure GentleSoft Luxury Faux Fur Pink Throw Blanket for Couch, Soft Fuzzy Fluffy Shaggy Gifts Blanket for Women Mothers Day, Warm Cozy Plush Fleece Throw for Room Decor, 50x60 Inches Our household never seems to have enough blankets or throws, so I decided to try this one for one of my kiddos. Our family is strongly ASD, so I was hoping this would be a winner. The outer shell has a faux fur that looks glittery. It is soft, but also has a weird coating that went hope goes away with washing. The inner side is very soft. It's comfortable to use, and for us, did not trigger any sensory issues. It's got a decent weight for a throw, but isn't obnoxious about it. This throw is enough to keep warm without overheating. At the current price of $39.99, it seems like a good deal. I did remove 1 star for the weird coating, but will update as appropriate.

Quality Faux Fur Throw
Color: 03 - Beige, Size: Throw (50" X 60"), Color: 03 - Beige, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
This blanket is nice and soft. It's an off-white color with one side being faux fur and the other being smooth. It is packaged tight but once unfolded it fluffs out nicely. I have another blanket made by this company and those blankets wash well, although I haven't had this one in the wash just yet. I tend to let the other faux fur blankets I have air dry and that usually works fine. I would caution against high heat on these. Ideally if you follow the cleaning instructions you should be fine though. The cost is on par with most box stores, decent value for what it is. It isn't super heavy and makes a nice throw for various scenarios. It does have a false leather patch on the front side which I am not a huge fan of. That sort of takes away from the authentic fur feel, but it isn't a huge drawback. I show that in one of my photos. Feels nice and cozy and would make a nice book nook blanket or chair covering. No chemical smells or anything like that. Overall very pleased with the product and I definitely recommend this brand from this and prior purchases.
