Bird and Rose

This soft and lovely pattern from 1897 is perfect for a bedroom or an intimate sitting area. The subtle variations in the green tones beautifully set off the peach colouring of the rose, while the solitary bird keeps vigil amid the bramble. Voysey believed in the quiet beauty of regularly repeating patterns, and this simple, undulating design is a perfect example of that. This pattern was originally intended for furnishing fabric but works equally well as wallpaper.

Saladin

If you are fond of morning glories, big morning glories, this is your pattern. If however you are of a timid nature please do not fear this design because it is digitally produced and consequently scaleable. Howard Van Doren Shaw chose The Saladin. Who is he? He would have been Chicago's better-known architect but for Frank Lloyd Wright. Shaw chose it for his own home, Ragdale, in Lake Forest. He was a Voysey admirer and imported British pattern for some of his projects. Voysey in the mid-west, …. in American Arts and Crafts houses, … see, …it does work! Be brave and try The Saladin, full scale or reduced it is a very peaceful palette of greens and blues with pale yellow and red highlights. This design can be used in almost any room. Really!

Wykehamist

This strong geometric design in shades of greys, greens, yellow and blues is a classic example of a simple pleasing foliage pattern. Voysey is at his professional best as opposed to his childlike best when creating this kind of repeating pattern. This is a large design that would be very pleasing in almost any room where muted color and robust design is desired. "The Wykehamist" was so successful a pattern that Tomkinson and Adam, the premier source for Voysey's machine made carpets, translated it to carpet design.

Fin and Tentacle

This thoroughly enchanting pattern obviously wants to be in the room where most people perform their ablutions. It doesn't have to be there to the exclusion of anywhere else you may want to install it but it does seem to find its own level near water. Voysey never gave this pattern a name but in the manner of so many of his designs we chose to name it descriptively, "Fin and Tentacle." This is a late Voysey pattern drawn around the time of his "Angelic Forest" and "House that Jack Built". During this period of reversed financial circumstances his creative heart and mind is still undauntedly in the sunlit world of the day nursery, and the future remains bright.

Bat and Poppies

This exotic pattern of bats and poppies by M. P. Verneuil c. 1897 does rather suggest the realms of altered if not enhanced states of consciousness. Bat and Poppy is an extraordinary elegant half drop design in shades of brown, grey, mauve, pink, green and ochre that evokes a Fin de Siecle maturity approaching the cusp of decline. Bat and Poppy is appropriate to wheresoever you, the aesthetically sophisticated, choose to install it.

Bird and Bramble

Imagine yourself in a brake of bramble roses in the English countryside with the rustling and cooing of doves in the thicket. That was Voysey's likely inspiration for this 1901 design. This very elegant pattern in muted greyed tones of teal, green, brown, red and dark purple can be combined with either painted or natural woodwork to create a dramatic yet peaceful interior appropriate to almost any room. Voysey has incorporated his signature heart motif in this design and has actually managed two interwoven hearts formed by the recurving of the brambles. This pattern was originally produced as a textile and used for curtains and upholstery. Trustworth Studios expects to produce Bird and Bramble as a printed textile in the near future.

Four and Twenty

"Four and Twenty" is an elegant pattern in shades of teals and black with the suggestion of gold based on the famous rhyme. Voysey, ever childlike, has created this rich repeating design that desperately wants to find a perch in your dining room. Four and Twenty could also be at home, albeit darkly, in the day or night nursery. This is a custom scaleable pattern with the document being 21" across and a self match.
