25cm empire shade in citrine 'palmette' linen by Ellen Merchant

A little bit of Ancient Greece meets a lot of groovy. The Palmette takes its cues from the classical palm leaf ornament but adds a playful, undulating wiggle for a decidedly retro twist. Originally hand-carved as a linocut by Ellen to capture that lovely, lived-in texture, it’s a masterclass in contrast. Whether you opt for the zingy ‘Citrine’ or the calm of ‘Beryl’, it’s a striking composition that feels right at home in both cool and warm schemes.
