Originally just a small border design, a fragment of which is kept at Felbrigg Hall in Norfolk, this pattern has been completely transformed in scale. Depicting silhouetted stems and flowerheads of yarrow, or perhaps the locally abundant marsh sow-thistle, the style is distinctly Art Nouveau and the flat colours are typical of a screen-printed design. Besides a radical shift in size, the stunning colour treatment of Achillea’s five modern colorway’s make this suitable as either a backdrop or focal point for contemporary rooms.
