Arab Hall Lunette Tile A5 Notebook

Exclusive to Leighton House 

Lined A5 soft cover notebook featuring the decorativeWilliam De Morgan tile panel from the south wall of the Arab Hall, Leighton House.  

This panel was designed and made by William De Morgan, replacing a set of tiles missing from the originals, which were likely made in Damascus in the early 19th century. De Morgan had to rely on his imagination to create the design and made a watercolour illustration as a guide. The resulting half-palmettes were drawn in a vivid dark red with leaves and spirals in white which appear to be more curvaceous than theywould have been if designed by an artisan from Damascus.
