Persian Scroll Embroidery Ochre

Description

Concentrating on the stylised elements of the central motifs, Persian Scroll is an exceptional embroidery, crafted using a dissolvable thread to resist dye in some areas. Each colour catches differently across the embroidery, creating pools of pigment, and the ground has a subtle texture of colour. This particular dye technique is very special – it feels aged, lived in and like an artefact for the modern home. This intricate level of work has made a fabric full of depth and interest. The rich, authentic colourways perfectly suit the Persian influence of the design, beloved by William Morris. While the Ochre colourway is bold, Plum feels subdued and intriguing. Due to the overdye process, a unique finish is created, creating subtle differences from batch to batch. Morris & Co. x The Huntington – The Unfinished Works, is an exceptional series of designs created in collaboration with The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in California, USA.
