Nurturing the old-world crafts of hand-embroidery, fabrics and furniture.
| London | New York | since 1990

Chelsea Textiles is a family firm, started by Mona Perlhagen, who moved to London from New York, where she had been a fashion buyer for Bloomingdale’s. She identified a need for perfect recreations of antique embroidered fabrics and cushions, to complement traditional interiors, and set about researching and sourcing authentic materials and the world’s best craftsmen, to produce hand-embroidered fabrics of the same quality as those of the 17th and 18th centuries.

A closer look at Wildwood.

Across a rolling, multicoloured hillscape, a Tree of Life unfolds amongst flowers, twisting vines and a menagerie of animals — from a scavenging monkey and bushy-tailed squirrels to a serpent, owl and swooping bat.

Inspired by a magnificent Arts and Crafts antique from the Chelsea Textiles archive, Wildwood is brought to life entirely by hand embroidery in our warm, refined palette.
