Glasshouse 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.
The Great Hall is an important part of British architectural history. In historic houses up and down the land they were once the scene of feasts, revelry, trials, and plots. Decorated with the finest furniture and fabrics, these treasured halls form the inspiration for this enduring collection, celebrating a modern take on timeless grandeur.
