GP & J BAKER HOLCOTT COLLECTION
The beautiful embroideries of the Holcott collection are partly inspired by the unique historical documents from the renowned G P & J Baker archive. Whilst some of the designs pay homage to the tradition of the Arts and Crafts movement, others reflect rare textiles collected from various points along the ancient silk route.
The Holcott Collection
Broadlands
An extremely beautiful fabric revealing elaborate flower heads, this embroidery has been translated from an early eighteenth century Palampore originally hand block printed on the Coromandel Coast of India.
Coleshill
An outstandingly pretty trail taken from an original mid eighteenth century chintz, Coleshill incorporates many exquisite traditional embroidery stitches such as bullion knots, satin stitch and Kensington stitch.
Cranborne Trail
Illustrating a traditional English image of entwined sweet briar and woodland strawberries, this unique and beautifully worked embroidery has been applied over a velvet ribbon stripe on a linen twill ground.
Holcott
This spectacular Tree of Life design demonstrates an impressive array of embroidery stitches and has drawn its inspiration from a combination of antique Ottoman textiles and bold English crewel work images.
Medlar
This enchanting early twentieth century Arts and Crafts design, originally a wallpaper, shows the fruit, blossom and leaves of the ancient Medlar tree.
Oriental Bird
"Oriental Bird" was first engraved for G P & J Baker in 1910 from a design inspired by a late eighteenth century block print in the archive and has now been transformed into a ravishing embroidery.
Pencarrow
With its gentle trails of wild flowers indigenous to the British Isles and embroidered on both silk and linen, Pencarrow evokes sentimental memories of a bygone era.
Wilton
Inspired by the dramatic designs of Tudor Blackwork embroidery, this historical technique, showing a variety of simple stitches creating complex patterns, has been brought to life again in the Holcott Collection.
Wisteria
Reminiscent of early summer days, the motifs that form this lovely trail were taken from a charming late eighteenth century hand painted Chinese wallpaper held in our archive.
HOLCOTT WALLPAPER
This superb collection of wallpapers found its inspiration in the unique, historical documents in the G P & J Baker archive. Whilst some of the designs pay homage to the tradition of the Arts and Crafts movement others reflect unusual and appealing crafts collected from ancient trade routes. These diverse designs have been cleverly translated into a stunning range of papers in widely differing scales with a palette ranging from calm neutrals and soft pastels to lustrous metallics, rich reds and deepest charcoal.
