Cornflower Embroidery Woad/Forest
MHTF237707
Regular price £266.00A design by the artistic hands of John Henry Dearle Cornflower is a bold composition in his signature vine-like style. Honouring the original archive document the central floral motifs have been preserved while the repeat has been thoughtfully reimagined to flow as a full-coverage embroidery. The jacquard ground detailed with signature dots echoes Dearle's distinctive decorative language resonating strongly with the Morris & Co. design team. An inscription in the margin of the original archive document reads "Will something like this do / for the suggested staircase paper / a la vine tapestry? / H.D." A charming glimpse into the creative dialogue of the time and a reminder of the artist-to-artist connection this collection celebrates across the centuries. A unique two-tone dyed yarn brings subtle movement and depth to the design offering a soft matte finish. Cornflower is a celebration of florals featuring tulips acanthus daisies and of course the cornflower itself.
