Cotton and linen damask in crimson woven for window drapes in the Parsonage. The design featured small sprig leaves in a ‘picot’ style, taken from the French word piquer, meaning to prick. The small design creates an understated allover texture to match the decor of the room.
The Humphries Weaving design has proved popular subsequently for those looking for an interesting plain.
