Entirely hand-painted to emulate silken hand stitches, Court Embroidery is inspired by an early 19th century waistcoat from Historic Royal Palaces' Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection. Tones of Coral, Marigold & Hyacinth on Parchment make for a delicate yet sunny, small-scale floral print.

Striking and contemporary, Queen’s Quarter is an opulent geometric, taken from a small detail within a much larger scheme of fresco murals. Its irregular octagons appear as corner vignettes within the Queen’s Drawing Room at Historic Royal Palaces' Hampton Court Palace, the decoration of which was commissioned by Queen Anne as a grand statement of her royal majesty and imperial power.
