Daphne Rose and Violet Lampshades 18th Century Greek hand embroideredInspired by a 19th century French motif, this design has been long in the making, with scale being key to the sense of whimsy in this uplifting print. The original palette is seen in its romantic colours of old rose and violet, whilst more vibrant and modern colour combinations are introduced also. In hand screen printing this design on a soft, Irish linen backcloth, Flora is upholding the traditional artistry of the original fragment in her archive.
