Davenport Damask

Davenport Damask'Davenport' entered the Watts canon with G. F. Bodley, however its design origins are found in Venice from around the 14th century. A version is famously featured in the painting The Ambassadors by Hans Holbein the Younger, which is likely where Bodley first saw it. Similar designs can be seen in 16th century Italian textiles, now housed in The Met collection. The Watts pattern is named after two of our directors: F. W. Davenport and J. L. Davenport,
