Marigold Jacquard Cotton Throw - Leaf Green

This throw carries the Marigold design, drawn by William Morris in 1875, woven here as a jacquard rather than printed. That matters: the pattern is built into the cloth on both faces, so the green marigolds and their swirling foliage read one way on the front and reverse as a paler negative on the back, cream ground carrying green motifs. It measures 130 x 170cm, a size that suits a single throw over the end of a bed or draped along a two or three seat sofa. The blend is 62% acrylic and 38% cotton, and the edges finish in a loose fringe on all four sides.

It sits most naturally in a living room or bedroom that leans traditional, where the density of the botanical repeat has room to be read. Layer it over a plain armchair to break up a solid colour, fold it across a bed as a top layer, or keep it to hand by a reading chair for cooler evenings. The two greens against cream are quiet enough to sit with wood, rattan and warm neutral walls, and confident enough to be the pattern that anchors a room.

The jacquard construction gives the cloth its weight and its two-sided face, and the acrylic in the blend is what makes it warm and springy to handle while the cotton keeps it breathable. The fringed edge is left deliberately relaxed rather than bound, an informal finish in keeping with the heritage pattern. The Marigold design also appears in the wider Morris range as cushions, so a throw and a pair of cushions can be pulled together in the same colourway if you want the print echoed across a room.

Is the pattern the same on both sides?

Yes. Because it is woven as a jacquard rather than printed, the design appears on both faces, showing as green on cream on one side and the reverse on the other.

What is the throw made from?

It is a blend of 62% acrylic and 38% cotton. The acrylic gives it warmth and a soft, springy handle, while the cotton keeps the cloth breathable.

How big is it and what will it cover?

It measures 130 x 170cm, which is well suited to draping over an armchair or a two to three seat sofa, or as a top layer folded across a bed.

Are the edges hemmed or fringed?

The throw finishes in a loose fringe on all four sides, a relaxed, informal edge rather than a stitched hem, in keeping with the heritage design.

Where does the pattern come from?

The Marigold design was drawn by William Morris in 1875, a swirling floral repeat that remains one of his best known botanical patterns.
