A soft tissue but heavier than the usual paper 17gsm weight sounds with a pleasing “crunch” when opened. This robust paper is useful for quick wrapping of awkward shapes or for those who are more playful than precision in their wrapping style. Good opacity, one sheet is usually enough for one small to medium sized gift.

About the Artwork
Land. Sea. Air ‘highlights' is a collection showing different tile panels, tiles and chargers from the De Morgan Collection.

William De Morgan (1839 – 1917), was the leading ceramist of the Arts and Crafts movement (c.1870 – 1910). Born in Bloomsbury, London, De Morgan formally trained as a fine artist then developed his interest in the scientific and mathematical. He began his career by creating stained glass panels before moving onto ceramics; in particular, hearth place tiles, murals, and “hollowware”.

The London based De Morgan & Co., excelled in the re-development of the ancient art of lustre glazing. This complex chemical process produces an iridescent metallic sheen to the ceramic surface adding glitz to the smog of Victorian London. Over his career, De Morgan drew hundreds of animals with anthropomorphic sensibilities. Meanwhile, his plants and flowers became more fantastical and imaginative as the De Morgan style became more developed.

De Morgan used his mathematical skill to plan designs for single tiles that could be repeated horizontally, vertically, or rotated to create a range of patterns when installed. The pattern is particularly triumphant between 1889-1898 when he produced large scale architectural work with his new business partner, Halsey Ricardo (1854 – 1928).
