New York —

Revman International will produce a collection of Antiques Roadshow branded quilts under license by public television station WGBH Boston, the program's producer.

Speeding things along, Revman will start showing the six-quilt launch line this month, with the first products aimed for retail shipment in October. The quilts will be presented along with coordinating shams, the manufacturer said.

"Quilts as an alternative bed covering are an increasingly popular category in our industry," said Revman president and ceo Rich Roman, noting that Antiques Roadshow will bring "authenticity" and "fresh perspective."

"The history behind the design inspiration as well as the authority of the brand sets the collection apart from the majority of product being offered in the market," Roman said.
