Overview

A heavy-duty cotton twill slipcover designed with a relaxed, 'loose-fit' aesthetic to mimic the utilitarian look of a painter's dropcloth.

Story

In 1949, Paul Secon founded Pottery Barn after discovering three barns full of discarded pottery in West Chelsea, but it was decades later that the brand perfected the 'lived-in' luxury seen here.

Maker / Origin

Pottery Barn began as a shop for 'seconds' and flawed ceramics before being acquired by Williams-Sonoma in 1986.

Condition & Value
