Gilbert is an Art Deco fabric derived from Walter Gilbert’s original 1933 sculptural frieze for Derry & Toms. Leaping deer and swallows move between stylised fountains, palms and decorative forms, translated from the original relief into a repeating textile in collaboration with Frank Holmes Fine Décor. The design is deliberately tonal, allowing the intricate artwork to read almost as texture from a distance, with the finer details revealing themselves on closer inspection.
 
In the Derry colourway, Gilbert takes on a soft, toasted buttery shade with a subtle brown depth. Earthy and understated, it brings quiet warmth to the Art Deco pattern and sits beautifully with oak, walnut, natural stone and layered neutral interiors.
