Gawthorpe Oak Tree & Snail
Phillipa Turnbull
The Gawthorpe Oak Tree & Snail design is an oft-repeated rural scene featured on the pelmets of Rachel Kay Shuttleworth’s famous bed hangings made for her beautiful 16th Century Tester bed given to her my her parents on her 21st birthday. The oak tree, which represents strength and loyalty, is shown grounded in hummocks. A curious snail completes this charming, and typically out of scale, Jacobean scene.
