ENGLISH COUNTRY GARDEN
Cobweb is a delicate, trailing, block-printed design by Marthe Armitage, and features intricate details from a summer garden: lace-cap hydrangeas, butterflies, wrens and doves, and spiders’ webs. Used as a wall-hanging on a pole, it brings colour and interest to this utilitarian hallway, much like a piece of artwork, in a style that references medieval wall curtaining
