The Material
A considered cloth, sourced with intent.
Oriental Bird in Eau De Nil is a GP J & Baker linen from the Cottage Retreat edit. Printed on 100% linen woven in the UK, the fabric carries a hand-painted quality—pale jade ground scattered with delicate avian motifs.

Texture
Woven to hold its colour and soften, never thin, with wear.
The linen base holds a soft, dry handle that softens further with use. Eau De Nil reads as a muted celadon, shifting slightly in different lights—cooler near windows, warmer under lamps. The printed birds sit lightly on the surface, their fine detailing most visible up close. Over time, the linen relaxes into a lived-in texture that suits both period and pared-back interiors.
In the Room
Detail, considered.
Edges piped by hand, seams pressed flat, corners turned with the grain.
Seams run clean through the printed ground, and the motif scale works well across wider panels without crowding. Piping in a tonal linen or soft chalk keeps the focus on the print. The fabric holds its shape on a padded headboard while maintaining a natural, slightly textured drape.
Application
On our four headboards.
The print reads clearly on the tall Vertical and Arched forms, while the lower Horizontal and Curved silhouettes frame the motifs more intimately.
Trim
Piping, paired.
