Fleur de Lys, William Morris Wing Chair

The assembly line continues to move along. I am waiting for another beautiful silk pattern in the mail.

This William Morris 100 % silk print was made by Liberty of London. I am afraid there is no way I my camera will photograph the colors properly. The back ground color is a brownish-red. The yellows are much more subtle then they look here. It is a gorgeous fabric.

I am happy to say, my last chair sold in 10 hours of being listed in Swan House Miniatures.

These boring chair posts will end soon. I may delete them.

  8. Catherine, what a silly idea! I would not have anything to sit and stare at for the next 10 minutes if you deleted the chairs. More please! I'm just waiting for the next set.

  9. Don't you dare delete the chair posts, at least I can look at them and drool all over the keyboard wishing I could lay my hands on some of that beautiful fabric. I love William Morris's designs like no other before or after him, the man was a genius.

    In 2006 I went to the Morris Gallery in London and Liberty's shop, I did buy a piece of fabric but it is not small enough for 1/12 scale :-(

    Now that the ranting is over, your chair is just GORGEOUS!!!!

  16. I deleted the comment because there was a typo and I detest that! I don't mind other people's typos, but I don't like mine. (Smiling)! Catherine, I know that you covered the chairs, but did you also build them? Just wondering. I know you could, you're that good!

  17. Lucille.

    Yes, I built the chair too. I suppose you can buy a ready made chair and recover it though. Thank you :-)
    I make more typos then anyone in Blogland. I am reeally good at that!!!

  18. Thanks, Catherine! Beautiful work!

  19. Boring? Oh no no no! When something is beautiful to look at it never gets boring!
    The legs look great! I like the angle on the back legs, very elegant. I often see chairs made where they put the legs in the wrong spot, so the chair looks like it would fall over if you sat in it. Not on your chairs of course!!

    I remember going to Liberty's the first year I discovered miniatures. I went there especially to see the Morris fabrics. So beautiful! Unfortunately the patterns were all too big for miniatures.
