I found this little gem in a charity shop. It gives a background of the company and the secret of it's style which will give us a better understanding on the company and where it draws it' inspiration from. It also gives decorating directions and instructions which may come in useful if we wanted to push the brief further.
'When planning our Home Furnishings Collections I take into account the factors which are common to most homes, such as as the part played by history and a love of domestic arts. Most of us live with one or more pieces of furniture from other times, old books, china and pictures, and this greatly influences our choice of prints for the collections. We aim to make them as timeless as possible.'
