Description
This is the Golden Lily duvet cover set, a heritage William Morris floral worked in pure cotton across three sizes: double, king and super king. The face is a garment-washed slub cotton, printed with the swirling lilies and tulips that have made this one of the most recognisable patterns in the archive, in soft greens, greys and warm rust. The reverse turns the design into a tonal damask, so the set reads two ways depending on which side you turn up. Being 100% cotton throughout, it is breathable and takes a wash and a print well, which is why the pattern sits so crisply against the ground.
It suits a bedroom that leans toward the natural and the settled rather than the sharp and modern. The green colourway sits happily against painted walls in sage, stone or warm neutral, and it works with wood furniture, wicker and plants, exactly the kind of room the pattern was drawn for. Because the damask reverse is quieter than the floral face, you can dress the bed to feel busy or calm without buying a second set. The set covers the three larger mattress sizes, so measure your duvet before choosing between double, king and super king.
The set is finished with contrast flat piping and an Oxford border on the pillowcases, which gives a neat framed edge around the print. The duvet cover fastens with buttons, a closure that holds well through repeated washing. The double includes one pillowcase; the king and super king each include two, so a pair of pillows is covered on the larger beds. Being garment-washed, the cotton starts soft and stays relaxed rather than stiff. Style it with plain green or cream bedding to let the lilies lead, and keep the reverse in mind when you want the room to settle down.

Frequently Asked
What is the fabric on each side of the cover?
The face is a garment-washed slub cotton carrying the printed floral, and the reverse is a smoother cotton percale with a tonal damask version of the pattern.
Is this duvet cover set reversible?
Yes. The floral print is on one side and a quieter tonal damask on the other, so you can turn the bed busy or calm without a second set.
How many pillowcases come in the set?
The double comes with one pillowcase, and both the king and the super king come with two, so a pair of pillows is covered on the larger beds.
How does the cover fasten?
The duvet cover closes with buttons along the opening, a fastening that stays secure through repeated washing and is easy to do up.
Which size should I choose?
The set is made for double, king and super king mattresses, so measure your existing duvet and match it to the size rather than to the bed frame.
What does the garment-washed cotton feel like?
Garment washing softens and relaxes the cotton before it reaches you, so the set feels supple from the first night rather than stiff and needing breaking in.
