Introduction:

Acanthus & Honeysuckle (Deluxe Printed Velvet) is a wonderful arts and crafts Morris-style design packed with scrolling foliage and flowers. The digital prints are truly astounding with everything from botanical beauties, wonders of the animal kingdom, to artistic interpretations of fantasy worlds.

Colour:

A superb collection of Morris-style favourites are depicted in masterly style: silver sage and dried wheat-hued acanthus foliage with scrolling stems support an orderly tangle of honeysuckle, parrot tulips and lantern flowers accentuated by golden ochre, sand and rich mandarin. Morris's mantra of "Beauty, Imagination and Order", is abundant in this heritage-steeped fabric.

The infilled background hue of dark olive creates a mysterious and nostalgic depth to this deeply captivating design, appealing to lovers of the natural world and art history. These classic Arts and Crafts style florals never date. Add this timeless style to your own bespoke unique furnishings.

Team this divine creation with nature-inspired hues and let this perennial favourite take centre stage. Alternatively, emphasise your favourite colours and add matching trims and accents to your makes for a seriously rich floral celebration.

Properties:

These luxuriously drapey, super soft, stable (with slight ease width-wise) velvets boast a medium pile with the soft touch of silk-like moleskin and subtle sheen. A reassuring medium-heavy drape provides luxurious style opportunities.
