Zoffany the internationally renowned quality fabric and wallpaper house, has introduced four striking collections into their extensive range of beautiful fabrics and wall coverings.

These timeless new collections encompass a rich array of designs in three textile collections and a complementary wallpaper collection.

Each of the classic designs, some dating from as far back as the 17th century, has been adapted from original documents in the Zoffany archive or from museum collections. For example:

The ‘Fleurs Rococo’ papers move away from the trend for statement wallpapers and towards designs that are still aesthetically stunning yet easy to live with.

The collection includes eight traditionally designed wallpapers, which range from a quintessential classic stripe to a flamboyant oriental trail.

The wallpaper designs have been printed with a range of traditional and new techniques to introduce both textural and metallic finishes to the papers.
Pictured here are: Fir Trees FLW02003 and Periwinkle Sage FLW08008.

The ‘Fleurs Rococo’ weave fabrics offer an elegant selection of embroidered brocades, richly patterned with classic and stylised designs.

The colour palettes within the collections, range from the authentic and the traditional to more contemporary combinations.

Annie has run her own business since 1980 and has been incorporating environmentally friendly materials into her design work for 10 years and winning prestigious awards.

This striking piece includes some naturally dyed yarns, cream alpaca, recycled white wool, and factory ends. The long, shaggy ‘turf’ laps over and softens the lines of the running horse.

The simple shape of a running horse is based on the white chalk horses cut into the hills of the UK, which some scholars believe to have been ancient advertising hoardings to - get your horses here.
