As elegant as it is edgy, this fantastical thistle motif reflects Neisha Croslands passion for espaliers, trees trained to grow flat against a wall with the branches outstretched in precise horizontal lines, as well as the brilliantly-colored mosaic tiles in Istanbuls 15th-century Topkapi Palace. Printed on a handmade silk-linen blend, the untimid pattern gains even more drama from the full-width repeat, which measures 54 inches across. Also a wallcovering.
