Lissadell Damask

Circa 1890

‘The light of evening, Lissadell,

Great windows open to the south,

Two girls in silk kimonos, both

Beautiful, one a gazelle.’

W.B. Yeats’ poem ‘In Memory of Eva Gore-Booth and Con Markievicz’, written in 1927, looks back to the time of his first visits to Lissadell, County Sligo, in the 1890s, when the ethereal silver and grey drawing room wallpaper was new.

In more pronounced colourways, ‘Lissadell’ provides a striking damask backdrop, whose long repeat gives a strong vertical emphasis. The two-colour version, with the pattern printed against a heavy gold outline, has even more impact.
