Lisieux Rose – Original – Cotton Poplin

Lisieux Rose is a faithful replica of a late 18th century screen printed French cotton quilt.

The delicate draughtsmanship of each floret is highlighted by the many subtle variations in colour used throughout the print. The spacing and scale of the artwork means that the design works from both from a distance and in close up detail.

Lulu chose to remain true to the design’s provenance by launching the original colourway on cotton poplin. This lends the fabric a crispness that is ideal for walling, bed hangings, loose covers and curtains, in the manner of chintz. While the lapis colourway on a light linen ground is ideal for upholstery and curtains.

In honour of the design’s origin the title is a reference to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, the French patron saint of florists.
