Museum Selection Cottage Flowers Cushion
Description
An evocative tapestry cushion with cream pipedborder. Recalling 16th century botanical studies by Flemish illustrator Joris Hoefnagel, the mix of flowers in the design also evokes the informal mood and Cottage Gardenplanting style advocated by William Robinson and Gertrude Jekyll in the late19th century. Jekyll, notably, argued in her seminal "Colour in the Garden", published in 1908, that, "I am strongly of the opinion that possession of plants, however good, does not make a garden; it only makes a collection"; "...the duty we owe to our gardens is to so use the plants that they shall form beautiful pictures; and that, while delighting our eyes".
