The Tapestry Kit Collection

Charles Francis Annesley Voysey (1857 - 1941) originally trained as an architect and established his own practice in 1882. His distinctive architectural style quickly received recognition, and he was persuaded to extend his obvious talents to incorporate all decorative forms, most notably textiles, wallpaper and carpets. His designs all possess a quality of uncluttered simplicity, usually featuring his favourite motifs of birds, trees, flowers and hearts.
