1882 Vintage Large Flowers & Leaves Golden Green Cushion

"Large Floral Printed Cotton," designed around 1882 by Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo, is a striking example of the artist's exploration of bold floral motifs and vibrant colour combinations. As a significant figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, Mackmurdo brought together organic patterns and modern design aesthetics, creating textiles that were both functional and visually appealing. This particular piece showcases large green leaves interspersed with golden flowers, a harmonious contrast that emphasises the richness of natural forms. The design exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship and innovative approach characteristic of Mackmurdo’s work.
