Gawthorpe Peacock Decoration
Phillipa Turnbull
This charming woodland scene is a detail from one of a series of interpretations recreated by Phillipa based on the jewel in the crown of the Gawthorpe Textile Collection and just one of Rachel Kay Shuttleworth’s heroic embroidery achievements, a set of bed hangings and pelmets embroidered by Rachel for her own Elizabethan four-poster bed in the Huntroyd Room in Gawthorpe Hall.
