Victoria and Albert Museum Doormat - Garden Party

This season, we celebrate the artistry of the iconic Arts and Crafts movement, drawing inspiration from the exquisite works of C.F.A. Voysey at the Victoria and Albert Museum. With its whimsical arrangement of plants and animals, this pattern from 1919 designed by Voysey exudes an air of timeless beauty, as if it were made yesterday. The design, probably commissioned for nursery textiles, embodies the Arts and Crafts Movement’s philosophy of incorporating the beauty of nature into daily life. Its appeal stems from its organic charm and simplicity, which still resonates with modern design sensibilities.
