The ancient Persian and Indian origins of the paisley motif, with its hidden messages and enigmatic symbolism, is thought to
have been a representation of a floral spray combined with a cypress tree, an allegory of life and eternity. Coromandel, an
exceptional example of this theme, here surrounded by small sprigs and banded by two decorative stripes, is printed on pure
linen in five beautifully balanced colourways.
