Artist/Maker
Place of origin

The simplicity of the clean, flowing form makes "Tilia" a very elegant and sophisticated pattern. Tilia trees are large deciduous trees generally referred to as lime in Britain. The exact number of species of Tilia is subject to considerable debate as many if not most of the species hybridise readily, both in the wild and under cultivation.
