Wrapping Paper Roll: Garthwaite, Red

Inspired by the queen of 18th-century silk pattern, Anna Maria Garthwaite, this watercolour floral evokes the chintzes of my childhood. Garthwaite's designs were often created in wild colour palettes to make them clearer to the weavers, but they feel way ahead of their time as a result. Here, a vibrant raspberry red and mustard yellow anchor the prettiness of the florals.
