Glasshouse Ivory explores historic floral ornament through texture alone, where intricate ivory embroidery decorates natural linen, celebrating craftsmanship, symmetry and the quiet elegance of pattern without colour.
Learn moreGlasshouse Ivory offers a refined and decorative interpretation of historic floral design, drawing inspiration from the ornamental detailing once found in the great halls and formal chambers of Britain's historic houses. Rendered entirely in ivory embroidery on a natural linen ground, the design feels architectural and balanced.
Scrolling florals, stylised leaves and ornamental motifs are arranged in a rhythmic, almost kaleidoscopic repeat. Executed using traditional hand-guided embroidery techniques, including crewel work and chain stitch, the raised stitching creates a softly sculpted surface that plays gently with light and shadow. Without colour to distract, attention is drawn to the precision of the stitchwork and the harmony of the pattern itself.
The tonal palette of Glasshouse Ivory makes it endlessly versatile, lending itself to elegant drapery, relaxed upholstery or layered schemes where texture is key. It sits comfortably alongside both classic detailing and more contemporary forms.
