GP & J Baker Rockbird Signature Fabric

Rockbird Signature Collection

Was originally drawn by the talented textile designer, William Turner in the early 20th century, Rockbird has been consistently included within the GP & J Baker collections since 1912.

Inspiration came from Chinese artwork that Turner had seen in the British Museum; it features magnificent flowering magnolia tree and exotic flowers with two pheasants perched on rocks at the bottom of the tree.

This design was first produced as a block print using 17 colours. We are seeing a move towards more pattern and decoration, and all over print Rockbird sits beautifully in this trend, whether it is in soft paired back hues or the bold multicolour it is a fantastic design for layering with textures and other prints.

Maximalism is having a significant resurgence in both interiors and fashion and the rich, highly patterned, authentic designs in this collection reflect this mood of eclecticism perfectly. 

By 1893 GP & J Baker was employing some of the leading Arts and Crafts designers of the time and an in-house studio led by W.J. Thomas began developing designs from the extensive archive. Many of the company’s most popular designs, originated in the early 1900s have had such appeal that they have remained in the GP & J Baker collections over the past 100 years and thus have become part of the enduring GP & J Baker style.
