Description
Vintage floral designs by E.A. Seguy. These two colourful designs are made in the UK and presented together in a simple black frame, glazed with a window mount, ready to hang on your wall. Eugene Séguy was a French entomologist and artist who specialised in Diptera. He held a chair of entomology at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris from 1956 to 1960. He is also known for establishing the Diptera section at that museum. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love the vintage flower print for its bold yet sophisticated aesthetic, making it a versatile piece that can elevate both modern and eclectic interiors. Its striking colours and layered florals lend themselves well to living rooms or bedrooms aiming for a lively but curated look. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with minimalist furniture and neutral tones, allowing the vibrant artwork to be the focal point. Additionally, this piece works brilliantly when grouped with other vintage or botanical accents, or displayed above a console table or sofa for maximum impact. Practical tip: frame it with a simple mount, as shown here, to keep the focus on the artwork and ensure it complements a range of colour schemes.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
