Inspired by a Dutch-style floral painting from the Liberty archive dating back to 1926, this breathtaking botanical takes cues from the technical aspects of textile design. Amongst a luscious profusion of tulips, roses, primroses, carnations, daffodils, and irises, visible grid marks can be distinguished, while vibrant polka dots serve as guides, corresponding to the separation of colours. This print is part of the Craftsmanship narrative of this collection, exploring the creative process from within the Liberty archive, from print impressions and embroidered studies, to ceramics, jewellery, and furniture. Uncover the origins of the designers’ musings through artworks inspired by their sketchbooks and prototypes.
