This Autumn Winter, Birdie Fortescue invites you to embark on a design journey along The Silk Road. Inspired by her travels across Asia and her love of heritage crafts, the collection is a tapestry of influences - echoing the intricate patterns of Uzbekistan and the rich artisanal heritage of India, the collection is designed to be effortlessly layered, inviting personal expression through the art of mixing and matching.
The Silk Road
Accessories and dining in the Silk Road collection champion colour, craft, and character. Sculptural pumpkin candlesticks in rich matt tones, handwoven seagrass trays, and glazed ceramic candlesticks bring artisanal charm, while block-printed paisley table linens layer pattern and vibrancy - transformiing everyday dining into something amazing!
To increase the longevity of your table linens we recommend a gentle cycle or hand wash in cool water - never hot!
To style flowers in a vase by Birdie Fortescue, start with large foliage or branches for structure, add statement blooms as focal points, and finish with delicate flowers for a natural, garden-picked look. You can swap flowers seasonally - spring tulips, summer peonies, autumn dahlias, or winter ranunculus - to keep arrangements fresh and in tune with the time of year.
To create a tablescape in Birdie Fortescue’s style, start with natural linens as your base, then layer a mix of ceramics and glassware for an eclectic feel. Add candlesticks of varying heights for dimension, and include seasonal flowers in vases or a central arrangement. Finish with personal touches like antique dining chairs or meaningful objects to make the table uniquely yours, reflecting her elegant, layered, and seasonally inspired aesthetic.
