Key Hole

Catalogue number: CM03
Description:
Bought from a shop in Grantham in the sixties; the client sourced some seriously beautiful fabric to cover her grandmother’s chair. The fabric is a classic Morris design dating from 1875, showing winding vertical stems of fern leaves around small groups of flowers. That winding stem was what I used to centre the design on the very shapely chair, what a joy to use! I added a few inches of upholstery to some of the curves and toned down the outline with duck egg blue piping. It is as gorgeous to sit on as it is to look at, honest.
Fabric: Sanderson, William Morris, Larkspur
