Try Wm.M. Collingburn in the UK, his fone/fax no. is 01748 824105, address
Kimber House, Lombards Way, Richmond, North Yorkshire, DL10 4JY.
He is so dedicated to originality that a friend of mine asked him to make a
set of carpets for his TD, but made a special request to have the carpet
edges specially bound. ( non original as they were left unbound). He flatly
refused!!.
I think you would probably get the original colour of red., and he will let
you have samples.
