Peacock Place

Peacock Place was drawn from a 1970s paper impression discovered within the Liberty archive. Framed by elegant ogee trails and arranged in a symmetrical layout, its scrolling foliage and stylised organic forms are typical of the Arts and Crafts period. This design represents the story of Hera, queen of the gods – her symbol of the peacock is reflected in the spread of majestically fan-tailed flower petals. Peacock Place is part of the Classical story of our Autumn/Winter 2023 collection – offering a celebration of the arts and crafts found from antiquity to neoclassicism, inspired by stories of Greek and Roman myth and interpreted through a vibrant contemporary lens.
