Use this Designers Guild Suffolk Garden furnishing fabric to create elegant curtains, upholstery, or cushions. Featuring a digitally printed floral design with birds and butterflies on softly textured cotton, it captures the charm of original chinoiserie art. This fabric is made in the United Kingdom by the trusted brand English Heritage by Designers Guild.
Suffolk Garden is a wonderfully flowing floral print in a medium scale accentuated with detailed birds and butterflies. The design is digitally printed onto a softly textured cotton to retain all the nuances of the original painting.
The 'Hoho' bird depicted in the original archival fragment derives from the mythical East-Asian version of the Phoenix. Hoho birds first started appearing in England in the 18th Century on Georgian Furniture and chinoiserie. The wallpaper was found in the entrance hall of Crowe Hall in Stutton, Suffolk. The hall was built in around 1605 for a member of the Bowes family but redesigned in a gothic style circa 1824-26 for George Reade by Richard Beales of Lawford Sussex. The design commissioned by Designers Guild is by an artist specialising in traditional chinoiserie style work for interior textiles so as to retain as much of the character of the original fragment as possible.
