Claire Elsworth’s unique hand drawn motifs draw inspiration from her intriguing concept stories about an imaginary Duchess called Violacea Macrobothrys and the romance and opulence of her beautiful old house.

Design concept story:
‘The Entomologist became a frequent visitor to the house that year with gifts of exquisite blooms: Dante, Parrot, Carnival and Bizarres until his next expedition lured him away with the promise of insect adventures in a far away land. So began a long correspondence of great affection between the Duchess and her Entomologist.’
