Curtain of linen printed with William Morris' 'Honeysuckle' design. The ground block print is in brown on natural with outline hand embroidery in blue, gold, orange, peach, purple and yellow silks.
The fabric design shows large honeysuckle flowers and branches over a subsidiary all-over background pattern of palm-like foliage. The embroidery in long and short stitches covers only part of the print, worked on the main flower heads in orange, peach, yellow and purple, large leaves in green and the smaller leaves in gold, blue (now faded from green) and yellow.
