With its revered past, Nantucket Looms globally recognized distinctive interiors style--bespoke handwoven textiles, artisanal furnishings, and local art that exudes the island's heritage--is coveted by today's tastemakers.
In the early 1960s a reawakening was happening on Nantucket. Into this world stepped Andy Oates and Bill Euler, one skilled in fine arts and the other in the art of hospitality. In 1968 they opened Nantucket Looms, which specialized in needlepoint, crewelwork, handwoven fabrics, and local artwork, forging their Nantucket style aesthetic. This modest homespun charm held great appeal to such style makers as Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Bunny Mellon, and interior designer Billy Baldwin.
