Claremont was founded in 1931 as a wholesaler of specialist textiles and trimmings to the interior design and decoration industry emerging in London.

The company began with the Georges Le Manach collection from Paris and subsequently acquired the Fortuny agency for the United Kingdom in 1970.

Since then, Claremont has engaged a number of small European textile manufacturers to weave on commission our unique and specialised archive.

Claremont is different from other showrooms in that it holds a considerable amount of stock on the premises, particularly silks and a large and varied collection of stock trimmings.

The company has never promoted itself but has gained a loyal following purely through word of mouth, and indeed supplies all of the top decorators in Great Britain.
