Description
The changing colours of 'Dead Tulips' by artist Mabel Royds. This giclee print has a cotton core mount in a handmade and hand-finished sustainably sourced solid ash wood frame. Made in the UK by museum specialists and printed on heavyweight, matt-smooth fine art paper, it's ready to hang on your wall. At the age of 15, Mabel Royds won a scholarship to study at the Royal Academy in London. However, she had her heart set on studying at the Slade School. After her time at the Slade, Royds moved to Paris and worked with the English painter, Walter Sickert, before travelling to Canada and teaching in Toronto. In 1911 she returned to the UK and began teaching at Edinburgh College of Art, working alongside SJ. Peploe. Royds is best known for her colourful woodcuts of flowers, along with biblical and Indian scenes. Her technique was indebted to Japanese woodcuts. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this piece because it offers a vibrant, contemporary take on floral art with its bold colours and artistic style. The purple and multi-tone palette makes it adaptable to both modern and eclectic interiors, especially those that embrace colour and personality. It works particularly well in living spaces or bedrooms with neutral backgrounds, where it can serve as a statement piece. Practical styling tips include layering it with other artwork or placing it above a simple console table to showcase its striking frame. Pairing it with soft textiles or other botanical elements can balance its boldness, creating a cohesive but dynamic look.

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.
