V&A SPITALFIELDS SILKS 2026 WALL CALENDAR (FLAME TREE)

The eighteenth century was a particularly distinctive period in the history of British design, marked by the rise of the Spitalfields silk industry in London’s East End. Anna Maria Garthwaite, James Leman and Joseph Dandridge are among the names closely associated with this period, thanks to the survival of their exquisite watercolour designs now held in the V&A collection. This vibrant selection of patterns illustrates their keen interest in natural forms and exceptional skill in depicting them. Printed on FSC-certified paper, with plastic-free packaging.
