The new Grain to glory range

Brand new for 2019 is the Grain to glory range, designed for and inspired by the National Trust. Inspiration ranged from the carved ceilings at Knightshayes, to the restored carpentry at Barrington Court and carvings at Petworth House. Inspired to capture the rich hues and unique textures created by nature, the designers were able to embody the mood of this winter season.
