{"product_id":"arthur-heygate-mackmurdo-cromer-bird-ornament-plate-print","title":"Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo — Cromer Bird | Ornament Plate Print","description":"\u003cp\u003ePairs and trios of stylised maroon-pink birds fly in horizontal bands across the fabric, their long tail feathers trailing into wavy golden-tan stems. Each stem culminates in a plume-like pink blossom flecked with cream dots, and the birds' bodies are edged in the same dark outline as the leaves. A faint all-over pattern of small pink flowers on cream fills the ground between the bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMackmurdo designed Cromer Bird around 1884 for the Century Guild, the design collective he founded in 1882 to unite architecture and the decorative arts; Simpson \u0026amp; Godlee block-printed the pattern onto cotton, and it was sold through the Guild's Bond Street retailer, Wilkinson \u0026amp; Sons. The Victoria and Albert Museum, which holds a length of the fabric, credits its restless, wave-like leaf stems with anticipating the curving line of Art Nouveau more than a decade before the style's peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArthur Heygate Mackmurdo (1851–1942) was a British architect and designer whose work anticipated Art Nouveau. Trained under the Gothic Revival architect James Brooks, he came under the influence of John Ruskin, whom he accompanied to Italy in 1874, and in 1882 founded the Century Guild with Herbert Horne and Selwyn Image to unite architecture, furniture, textiles and metalwork under a single design hand. The title page he drew for his 1883 book Wren's City Churches, with its whiplash, flame-like foliage, has been called the first work of Art Nouveau. His designs are held by the Victoria and Albert Museum and the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
