Chelsea Textiles Nurturing the old-world crafts of hand-embroidery, fabrics and furniture.
| London | New York | since 1990

Chelsea Textiles is a family firm, started by Mona Perlhagen, who moved to London from New York, where she had been a fashion buyer for Bloomingdale’s. She identified a need for perfect recreations of antique embroidered fabrics and cushions, to complement traditional interiors, and set about researching and sourcing authentic materials and the world’s best craftsmen, to produce hand-embroidered fabrics of the same quality as those of the 17th and 18th centuries.

A closer look at Wildwood.

Across a rolling, multicoloured hillscape, a Tree of Life unfolds amongst flowers, twisting vines and a menagerie of animals — from a scavenging monkey and bushy-tailed squirrels to a serpent, owl and swooping bat.

Inspired by a magnificent Arts and Crafts antique from the Chelsea Textiles archive, Wildwood is brought to life entirely by hand embroidery in our warm, refined palette.

Palm Tree of Life in Green in the making.

Based on an English embroidery dating to 1701 from the Chelsea Textiles archive, Palm Tree of Life reflects the Indian and Chinoiserie influences found in English crewelwork of the period.

Fantastical birds, exotic flowers and insects are scattered amongst meandering branches and foliage, each motif worked by hand by our master embroiderers.

Introducing Artichoke Trellis by Neisha Crosland, a new collection of hand screen-printed fabrics embellished with hand embroidery, available in three delicate colourways.

Part of the wider Neisha Crosland collection for Chelsea Textiles, the design is inspired by her travels across Asia, with fabrics and cushions brought to life by our master craftsmen.

A Royal College of Art-trained textile designer, Neisha Crosland has received numerous awards for her fabric designs, with her work held in the V&A collection. The collaboration draws on early scarf designs and unpublished artwork inspired by trips to India and Japan, translated into beautiful hand-embroidered fabrics and cushions.
