Description

Soft pale purple birds in gently diagonal foliage with yellow fruit. This is classic Voysey from around the turn of the Twentieth Century. Originally produced as a textile this pattern is somewhat Art Nouveau in appearance, however it was in production and extremely popular well after Art Nouveau was in eclipse. This is a digitally produced paper and is 21″ wide with a 19.553″ vertical self-matching repeat.

One double roll covers 60 square feet

There is an order minimum of one double roll.

Intellectual Property Theft

AUTHENTICITY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THEFT

It has been said that imitation is the greatest form of flattery. In truth it is more often than not theft of intellectual property.

All of the flat pattern design offered by Trustworth Studios comes from either my own original document archive (original period wallpaper samples) or from private collections from which I was given exclusive rights to reproduction. All of the designs are meticulously researched as to scale, color and original rendering intent.

Occasionally only fragmentary documents exist of a particular pattern. Using elements from the Voysey notebooks I was able to logically complete these designs by careful comparison of sketches and matching them to the fragmentary remains. When these designs are copied by other firms and are offered for sale they are intellectual property theft of an even more odious nature and demonstrate a low and mercenary disregard for morality.

Every pattern shown on the Trustworth Studios website predates any modern, post 21st century company’s offering.

The most copied but never equaled design is the pattern known as “Apothecary’s Garden”. That design came from a private commercial archival collection.  I was granted he exclusive reproduction rights to that design by the grandson of the man who contracted Voysey to supply their firm with pattern. That design was never given a name by CFA Voysey. Whilst visiting here at my studio Richard Pugh-Cook, that grandson and head of Tomkinson Carpets, liked the name I suggested and we mutually agreed to name the design.

Hey Diddle Diddle survives only as a fragment approximately 60% complete. I was able to consult the Voysey notebooks to complete the likely original full pattern intent. The spoon is drawn from my original Voysey silver spoons and the dish is from a Voysey repouseé serving piece design. The neck of the fiddle and the ribbon are completely Trustworth Studios.

It has always been my policy to respect and to never ever reproduce any work that is already in current production. To do so is immoral, shamelessly mercenary and venal. It is also devoid of any artistic integrity.
