African Print Fabrics
Our fantastical animal print upholstery fabric called Wild and Free tells a story. Vanessa's daughter, Rose, drew these wonderful shapes whilst visiting the British Museum. She drew the charging bull from a 4th Century BC Etruscan vase and the more magical creatures from ancient cave drawings.
She feasted on 7th Century BC Assyrian relief carvings of deer hunts. These animals are leaping across the width of fabric interspersed with atmospheric African Acacia trees. Stylised animal forms have been depicted in artworks for centuries and indeed are the first images discovered several centuries BC.

Fallow Deer is another animal inspired design, this one being quite toile in comparison to the bolder Wild and Free. It comes in a beautiful Cornflower blue, and is perfect or soft furnishings.
Where will this animal print fit in a house? What can it be used for?
The Wild and Free animal print design makes amazing blinds, curtains, and cushions for any room in the house. It is so inspiring for any children's bedroom, playrooms, or nursery, but is also grown up enough to decorate an adult space too. It comes in lighter colours such as Limestone, and Smoke blue, through to stronger earthy colours like Terracotta and Kale green. Children have time on their hands, and spend time daydreaming and gazing. This fabric will feed their imaginations. In this age of endless 'screens' for children's entertainment, it is more and more important to look for ways of inspiring thoughts and imagination.
These Made to Measure animal print blinds, upholstery fabrics and curtains are printed on 100% Linen, and Linen Union. In addition, a lampshade made from one of these animal fabrics would be a great focal point in a room, as would a chair, cushions, and even a quilt. We can make all these, especially for you with our Made to Measure service.
