Iconic
The Oak. Freighted with symbolism, mythological powers, and national identity. Mighty Oaks have inspired poetry, song, and innumerable representations in art and design.
With one of the most easily identifiable leaf shapes I have always been drawn to images and representations of oak trees, a fact not missed by my brilliant friend who never misses an present opportunity with something ‘oaky’ - the gorgeous carved spoon and dinky gilded acorn dish, a bespoke design by LG Studio just two treasures I’ve luckily received over the years.
And from to the Oak Leaf is a brand identifier.
But just how lovely are these oak leaf designed printed fabrics, all from female entrepreneurs - whose love of nature and textiles have combined to build hugely succesful fabric business supplying the interior design and retail markets.
Kent based , Sussex based and Cotswolds based - just a few of the very many fabrics and wallpapers available today.
And now I discover .uk make an oak leaf biscuit, my day is made.
Edible and beautiful in equal measure!
