Tudor throw in Blue & Orange

Introducing a new contrasting colourway for my Tudor pattern, showcased in this uniquely hand-crafted piece.

The main pattern, incorporating Tudor roses & pomegranates, is hand-printed in teal blue on a paler blue back cloth of cotton/linen/viscose to create a rich two-tone effect. In a departure from my usual single colour approach, I have individually printed each set of pomegranate seeds in a richly contrasting shade of orange to bring this piece to life.

This throw is backed with a coordinating plain linen with edges of British wool, which I’ve hand-stitched in orange to finish.

Size: 155cm x 152cm – perfect for an armchair, over the back of a sofa, or laid atop a single or double bed.

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.
