Penjing Fabric

Named after the ancient Chinese art of forming miniature trees and landscapes, Penjing is an intricate embroidery on a herringbone linen ground. Planted in decorative pots, the design, which includes a variety of stitch techniques, alludes to a time when porcelain was more precious than gold.

Collection: Water Garden is a celebration of newly discovered documents from the Sanderson archive, used to create an exciting range of contemporary fabric designs. From the striking blooms of Emperor Peony to Fusang Tree’s decorative history and the imperial symbolism of Chinese Dragon, Water Garden charts the appeal of Eastern inspired design and the joy of its application into the world of English interiors.
