J. H Dearle's vision for Helena designed in 1891 as a woven jacquard reflects his profound fascination with the detailed textiles of Persia and Turkey which held his gaze during his peak as a designer. The intricate pattern seamlessly blends artichoke flowers against a backdrop of acanthus leaves and fritillaries. In Morris & Friends Helena is taking its place gaining much-deserved recognition in heritage hues of peach teal and shades of indigo.
