An extraordinary collection of antique French textiles inspired the latest collection of Tess Newall - a painterly medley featuring inspiring wildflowers, pomegranates, ditsy florals, and delicate sprigs, all of which pair beautifully with Tess's latest embroidery collaboration with Volga Linen. Scroll below to learn more about Apolline, Mirabel Sprig, Petites Fleurs, and Colette.
Drawing inspiration from an embroidered 18th-century bed hanging discovered in an English country house, Mirabel Sprig is a scattered floral honoring the French tradition of 'Indiennes,' printed and painted cottons influenced by the textiles of India. The wallpaper features delicate floral sprigs and pomegranates, a motif long associated with prosperity.

Inspired by a nineteenth-century watercolor design for an English silk textile, Colette is a climbing floral vine with a romantic feel.
