Hampton Court is a wide, classical pattern of Louis-Quatorze inspiration, distinguished by its symmetrical composition of stylised flowers and arabesque plant stems. It is drawing-room formality of the old school: the design holds its balance across the width, and the arabesques give it movement without disturbing the symmetry. Used at scale, on full-length curtains or a generous sofa, it brings a sense of order and occasion that smaller patterns cannot manage.
