This exquisite bedlinen pays homage to the best of Spitalfields craftsmanship. Inspired by a magnificent silk court Mantua dress c1750–53, its embroidered floral motifs exude opulence and artistry, creating a unique bedroom look fit for royalty. Bouquets of blues, reds and yellows are embroidered onto a crisp 200-thread-count cotton percale base, complete with a refined knife-edge finish for a luxury feel. 

Inspiration This magnificent Mantua takes its name from a style of court gown originally inspired by fashions associated with Italy and Spitalfields in London, where these beautiful garments were made. 

Emerging in the late 1600s, the Mantua became a powerful symbol of wealth and status. Measuring an impressive 210cm in width, the dramatic scale allowed the wearer to display the quantity and quality of the luxurious fabric they could afford. 

When making an entrance at court, a woman wearing a Mantua would have to enter sideways as the width of her skirt would have been too wide for most doorways. She would then turn to face her audience, opening like a fan to dramatic effect. 

The white brocaded ground of the fabric is characteristic of English woven silk and represents the best in Spitalfields weaving, renowned for its exceptional skill and craftsmanship.
