Product Description

Art and Craft Movement

The Arts and Crafts Movement was formed as a reaction against the effects of machine production – on the social conditions of factory workers and on the inferior quality of machine manufactured goods. Such was the impact of the industrial revolution on traditional skills that many artists and designers were concerned that the decorative arts were in danger of being lost forever.

The movement – which took its name from the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society, a group founded in London in 1887, set about reviving traditional artisanship.

C F A Voysey

Charles Voysey was born in Yorkshire in 1857 and trained to be an architect, growing his practice from modest beginnings to work on many large country houses and industrial premises.

Voysey designed the Sanderson Wallpaper factory in Chiswick (since named after him) designing not only the building itself but also taking responsibility for much of the interior including furniture, wallpapers, fabrics, carpets, tiles, metalwork and ceramics – all inspired by his love of the Arts and Crafts movement. Sometimes as well, he supplemented his income from the buildings he designed and fitted out by selling his fabric and wallpaper designs to manufacturers, including William Morris’ company Morris & Co.

The Art of Tapestry

Tapestry is an ancient art dating back over 2000 years. In the UK and Europe, tapestry art was most prominent during the middle-ages. Barons and knights would adorn their castle walls with them for both decoration and warmth. A tapestry is started by stretching plain warp threads on a loom to create a grid. The coloured weft threads are then weaved in and out of the warp threads, building up a complete tapestry. Our production method uses modern mechanical looms which greatly speeds up what used to take weeks or months by hand.

A special characteristic of each Signare bag is that each one is unique. Signare means ‘Signature’ in Latin and we wish every customer to possess their own individual signature bag.
