Aurea Indienne is part of the new Castle Howard Indienne Collection and honours the tradition of toiles peintes or ‘painted cottons’ that were imported into Europe from the late 16 sixteenth century. These imported cottons or calicoes proved popular for making garments and soft furnishings. To satisfy the tastes of their western customers the trading companies lost no time in producing textiles destined exclusively for European markets, but which still remained exotic in character – a factor that was to remain key to their success. Originally documented as an Indienne Tree of Life border fabric with large stylised flowers on a meandering branch offset by the typical vermicelli backprint, probably purchased by Rosalind, 9th Countess. It has been carefully recreated as a digital wall-covering to showcase its vibrant, striking and deliciously detailed boughs on paperbacked linen, grasscloth and non-woven paper in an elegant fresh colour palette.
