Charles Voysey, a key Arts & Crafts figure, created simple, flowing patterns inspired by birds, trees & flowers. His decorative designs bridged Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau & modernism, showing how nature and daily life connect through design.

The Art of the Fanfare 🎭✨ This painted fan captures the joy of the Venetian Carnival with Harlequin and Columbine in a festive chariot scene. A souvenir of 18th-century Venice, it blends theatrical flair and fine artistry from the golden age of Commedia dell’Arte.
