The Royal Collection

This elegant multi-colored tape features mythical sea creatures, exotic flora, and fanciful birds, each painstakingly hand-stitched using hand-dyed yarns on the fine silk-linen ground. A tour de force of artistry and handwork, royal silk embroidery trim adds a lighthearted, luxe detail to pillows, upholstery, and window treatments. Inspired by our iconic royal silk embroidery, a showstopping fabric, this lavish design derives from a gown worn by Queen Elizabeth I in a 1599 portrait painted by Nicholas Hilliard.

Comprehensive, luxurious, and extraordinary range. Cutting edge and unparalleled level of quality.

Lavishly done in fine silk, this is a depiction of the dress worn by Queen Elizabeth I in the 16th century Hardwick Portrait, which English noblewoman Bess of Hardwick hung in Hardwick Hall to show her undying support for the queen, her sometimes enemy. Scholars think Bess’s own hand created the wildly inventive, highly symbolic embroidery in the queen’s gown which is faithfully reproduced in this exquisite fabric.
