In the 1890s, Arthur Lasenby Liberty and his wife, Emma, bought The Lee Manor in the historic British county of Buckinghamshire and decorated it with a carefully curated collection of Objets D’art from around the world. Following a trip to Japan In 1889, the couple fell in love with the country’s unparalleled artisanship, creative heritage, and natural beauty – so much so, that the young Arthur Liberty was inspired to recreate a Japanese Garden of his very own.
Meticulously hand-painted in the Liberty Design Studio, in the heart of London, and expertly printed in the Liberty Fabrics Mill in Italy, the collection is traditionally screen printed onto Lasenby Cotton, a base specifically developed for quilting and crafting projects.
