GP & J Baker
The English archive house whose botanical prints and chinoiserie patterns have set the standard for English Country drapery for over a century.
Brand overview
Founded by George and James Baker, the house holds one of the oldest privately-owned textile archives in the world — over 8,000 documents, many of which still inform new collections. Now part of the GP & J Baker / Mulberry / Threads group, the brand remains the gold standard for English Country prints.
GP & J Baker is a textile mill and design house. Drapery is fabricated by workrooms — at House of Drapery, in our case.

Questions about GP & J Baker
- Is GP & J Baker only for traditional houses?
- No. The archive translates into transitional and even contemporary architecture when paired with restrained tailoring — a clean French pleat or a simple flat panel can let one of these prints feel current in a modern room.
