Tudor Throw – Spring Edition

The final piece in my seasonal ranges, this Tudor throw is my celebration of Spring.

This double sided throw is made from off-white antique linen with the pattern hand-printed in yellow, which has washed to a mellow shade allowing the texture of the base cloth to shine through. It is edged in a rich yellow wool and finished with zesty green blanket stitch detailing, making it uniquely hand-crafted from start to finish. I have conceived and created it to mark Spring’s procession through the season’s palette of graded yellows, fresh greens and pure whites which I have followed through my local landscape. This smaller sized throw is ideal for an armchair or over the back of a sofa.

Size: 157cm x 146cm

About the pattern:

My Tudor pattern is inspired by a carved oak screen at Steyning church in West Sussex, crafted to commemorate the marriage of Henry VIII & Catherine of Aragon. I have streamlined their respective insignia of the rose and the pomegranate into a design I hope can feel ancient & modern at the same time, and be interpreted in both figurative and abstract ways. Its motifs have been likened to ‘fossil spirals and ancient downland landforms’, a comparison which bears witness to my time in Sussex researching the archives of one of my favourite designers, Peggy Angus.
