Alexanders Parsley is the hero design of the Apothecary collection. Alexanders, cow parsley, umbels and dandelions combine in a bold, large-scale repeat, set against deeply coloured backgrounds with a grasscloth-style texture.
Inspired by the Victorian fascination with the exotic while remaining rooted in apothecary history, the design’s four colourways draw upon authentic botanical tones and historic plant names.
COLOURWAYS
In order of images:
Pot Herb pairs calming blue with olive and black-green leaves. Evoking Alexanders’ role as a staple kitchen herb, it is a composed, familiar palette with quiet historical resonance.
Horse Parsley layers burnt orange with hay yellow and black-green foliage. Warm and earthy, it reflects the strength of the plant’s name and its long use in herbal tradition.
Roman Celery sets olive and hay-yellow details against a rich green ground. Full of depth and energy, it recalls the plant’s Roman heritage, when Alexanders were brought to Britain for both food and medicine.
Black Lovage combines a buttery yellow ground with black and brown detail, recalling late-summer fields gone to seed. Rich and grounded, it reflects the plant’s enduring place in apothecary and countryside lore.
Part of a collection inspired by nature, folklore and the English apothecary tradition, Alexanders Parsley works as a striking stand-alone statement or alongside other Apothecary designs. It is digitally printed to order in England on a premium non-woven substrate using eco-certified inks.
