The lovely vintage blue and white John Henry Dearle design featured on this set of 4 extra large cork-backed placemats is taken from the archives of the Victoria & Albert Museum. John Henry Dearle (1860-1936) was a British textile and stained glass designer remembered specifically for his work with Morris & Co. where he was chief designer. The Michaelmas collection is inspired by wallpaper he designed for Morris & Co. in 1912 which exemplifies his characteristic simplicity of form and his love of florals.
