Sea Thistle in cream porcelain by Neisha Crosland, a woven silk. The same thistle head and scrolling stem, here worked tone on tone in cream against a warm ivory ground, so the pattern only shows itself where the light catches the weave. From across a room it reads as a plain silk. From the next chair it is clearly a pattern.
Neisha Crosland is a British surface pattern designer whose work sits somewhere between the decorative and the graphic, and this colourway is her at her most restrained.
Piped and backed in a woven neutral.
55 x 55cm square. Corners are tapered, fabric edges are overlocked and there is an invisible zip along the bottom edge. Handmade in my Devon workroom, available with or without a duck feather pad.
This fabric is also available by the metre. If you would like curtains, a blind or a headboard in it, do ask.
A large cream silk square is a considered choice rather than a safe one. It needs a clean background and something with texture beside it, a heavy linen or a wool, so the silk reads as a contrast rather than as an absence.
Care: dry clean recommended. Due to the handcrafted nature of the fabric, slight irregularities and shade variations are characteristic and not considered faults. Exact colour matching to previous orders cannot be guaranteed.
