Bargello Weaves

This striking collection of richly coloured upholstery weaves has been designed to capture the hand stitched texture typical of early needlework and tapestry samples. Although the two patterned fabrics within the collection are based on traditional designs from museums and archives, the collection is highly contemporary in feel due to both its stylised design and broad array of unusual colourways. ‘Deerfield’ shows a Jacobean trail of leaves and flowers and ‘Bargello’ is an up to date geometric flamestitch. To complete the collection, there is also the coordinating ‘Bargello Plain’, which has a subtle flowing stitched effect to complement the background of the patterned designs.

Verlaine Weaves

‘Verlaine’ is a magnificent damask based on a Spitalfield silk design dating from the 18th century and has been woven in a luxurious silk and cotton taffeta quality. The design shows a four-over trail of stylised flowers and leaves with simplified flowing shapes to give the fabric an updated feel. To complement the damask is a beautiful double-sided plain woven in silk and cotton ‘Lotus’, where the face shows the shinier silk surface and the reverse the matter look of the cotton. The colours of the plain co-ordinate perfectly with the damask and both fabrics are available in a span of thirteen colourways, from traditional shades of gold and duck egg through to brave shades of emerald and magenta.
