Price History
Description
Layer some luxury into your space with this pure cotton throw by Historic Royal Palaces. The jacquard design features intricate floral and vine motifs, inspired by Chantilly lace and Tudor interiors at Hampton Court Palace. A soft fringed trim completes the elegant design.
Our Stylist Says
I love this what’s called Tudor Trail throw for its rich colour palette and traditional patterns, which can add a cosy, vintage touch to both modern and period-inspired interiors. Its pink mix lends itself well to softer, feminine schemes or as a playful contrast in more monochrome or muted spaces. It works particularly well layered over neutral sofas or beds, bringing warmth and texture without overwhelming the room. For practical styling, try pairing it with other vintage-inspired accessories, such as floral cushions or antique-looking ceramics, to create a cohesive look. It’s ideal for adding a pop of colour to a minimalist setting or dressing up a more rustic, cottage-style room.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
