Original Description
Peonies and Plums, An Embroidered Cushion Square by Lily Yeats (1866-1949) is a captivating example of early 20th-century embroidery that embodies the Arts and Crafts Movement's revival of handcrafted textiles. Created by the sister of renowned poet W.B. Yeats, this delicate work features lush peonies and slender plum branches rendered in soft silk threads against a neutral background, demonstrating Lily Yeats's mastery of the Dublin embroidery style she helped popularize through the Dun Emer Guild. The piece radiates a quiet poetic elegance, its botanical motifs balanced between naturalistic detail and decorative stylization - a hallmark of the Celtic Revival aesthetic. As one of the few surviving works by this influential craftswoman, it represents an important bridge between fine art and decorative arts during Ireland's cultural renaissance, when traditional crafts were elevated to museum-worthy status.
For contemporary interiors, this embroidered square (typically 12-14 inches) would bring timeless charm to a study, sunroom, or boutique hotel lounge. Frame it under museum glass in a slender walnut shadowbox to preserve the delicate threads while allowing appreciation of its tactile quality. The peony's blushing pinks and plums' muted purples pair beautifully with Farrow & Ball's "Setting Plaster" walls or earthy green velvets. In a minimalist office, it would add organic softness above a mid-century writing desk, its floral motifs creating a thoughtful counterpoint to clean lines. For period authenticity, display alongside other Arts and Crafts objects like a Mackintosh-style rose cabinet or Tiffany glass lamp, ensuring its intricate stitching remains the visual anchor by maintaining clear space around the display area.
