Floral Print Wallpaper Biography

Source(google.com.pk)
designer, businesswoman, singer and banjolele player, was born on 28 July 1899 at Mungy Station, near Mount Perry, Queensland, fourth surviving child of Queensland-born parents William Broadhurst, stockman, later a grazier and hotelier, and his wife Margaret Ann, née Crawford. After winning prizes in local eisteddfods, Florence joined 'the Diggers' and sang at the Princess Theatre, Toowoomba, in 1918. On 4 December 1922 she left Australia to perform with a musical comedy sextet, the 'Globe Trotters', in South East Asia and China under the stage name 'Miss Bobby'. She also performed with the 'Broadcasters', 'Carlton Follies' and 'Carlton Sparklers', received favourable reviews for her singing and Charleston dancing and was photographed for the English-language newspapers—including the Eastern Mail (Delhi) and the South China Morning Post. In 1926 she established the Broadhurst Academy in Shanghai, offering tuition in violin, pianoforte, voice production, banjolele playing (taught by Florence), modern ballroom dancing, classical dancing, musical culture and journalism.

Returning to Queensland in July 1927, Broadhurst was involved in a car accident before travelling in October to England in the Orvieto. On 22 June 1929 at the Brompton Oratory, South Kensington, she married with Catholic rites Percy Walter Gladstone Kann, a stockbroker. In the early 1930s the two were co-directors (and she designer and dress consultant for) Pellier Ltd, Robes & Modes, in New Bond Street, Mayfair. But Kann soon departed and she and her second husband Leonard Lloyd Lewis, a diesel engineer, lived at Banstead, Surrey, from 1939. During World War II she joined the Australian Women's Voluntary Services, offering hospitality to Australian soldiers. In 1945 the Lewises moved to Worthing, Sussex, where Florence obtained fishing and passenger boat licences. She became honorary secretary of the Art Women's Movement Against Socialisation.

In 1949 she came back to Australia with Lewis and their son. Taking up painting, she drove around northern and central Australia, reportedly producing some 114 works in two years. Solo exhibitions of her 'Paintings of Australia' were held in 1954 at David Jones's art gallery, Sydney, and next year at Finney's gallery, Brisbane, and at the Art Society of Canberra gallery. She also participated in group showings, including the All Nations Club's Ten Guineas and Under exhibition at David Jones. Florence became a foundation member of the Art Gallery Society of New South Wales and a member of the Society of Interior Designers of Australia.

In the 1950s, as Mrs Lewis, she became involved in charitable and fund-raising activities. But by 1961 Leonard had moved to Queensland, leaving Florence and her son to run a motor-sales business at St Leonards, Sydney. She continued her charity work, designing the festoon decorations for the 1964 Die Fledermaus Opera House Ball and acting as vice-president and honorary organizer for the United Nations Association of Australia international ball committee in 1966. In the 1970s she was connected with the Royal Art Society, the Sydney Opera House appeal and the Australian Red Cross Society.

In 1959 Broadhurst had established Australian (Hand Printed) Wallpapers Pty Ltd, in premises behind the motor business. With a small staff, she designed, manufactured and marketed locally produced, high-quality, handcrafted wallpapers in luxurious, oversized patterns with vivid combinations of colours, inspired by an eclectic range of sources. Brightly coloured peacocks were a feature, as were bold geometrical, striped and floral designs. Innovations included printing onto metallic surfaces, the development of a washable, vinyl-coating finish and a drying rack system that allowed her wallpapers to be produced in large quantities. Moving to Paddington in July 1969, the company became known as Florence Broadhurst Wallpapers Pty Ltd, advertised as 'the only studio of its kind in the world' and exporting to North America, England, Hawaii, Kuwait, Peru, Norway and Paris. In 1972 the Australia News and Information Bureau issued a press release claiming an international reputation for the designer. By then her wallpapers reportedly contained around 800 designs in eighty different colour ways.

A striking-looking woman, Broadhurst was renowned for her flamboyant clothes, antique jewellery and coiffed, hennaed hair. In 1973 with her eyesight and hearing failing, she flew to Britain to attend a cell therapy clinic in the hope of improving her health and rejuvenating her body. Back in Sydney, she was brutally murdered on 15 October 1977 at her Paddington premises; the killer has never been identified. Survived by her son, Florence was cremated. The Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, holds a collection of her work. The Broadhurst collection was acquired by Signature Prints Pty Ltd, and in 2005 many of her boldest wallpaper designs were still available, some reinterpreted as fabric prints by Akira Isogawa, Nicole Zimmermann and other leading Australian fashion designers.

The Isis fill paper and coordinating frieze is an early exuberant example of Voysey’s mastery of pattern design. It is from his large-scale early 1890’s output and both the fill paper and the frieze may be used independently of each other. The frieze is more demonstrably graphic and makes a clear enough statement to be used above a painted or paneled wall. The fill paper is grand though subtle when used alone and the ideal complement to the frieze when somewhat more opulence is desired. The choice of the name for this fill and frieze set is unclear but it may be speculated that Voysey had the poem Prothalamion by Edward Spencer in mind for a description of that part of the Thames still traditionally called the Isis in Oxford. In the poem the river is idyllically described.

The Isis fill is 21” wide with a 21.067” vertical repeat. The Isis frieze is 24” tall with a 16.62 horizontal repeat when used with the fill paper. The frieze may also be trimmed at various places to use only sections of the design when combining with the fill. When not used with the fill the frieze is scalable.
Love in a Mist" is a simple sweet design drawn late in Voysey's career. The plant is loved by many gardeners for its silvery grey green leaves with touches of red as it matures and of course the soft blue flowers "floating" in the mist. This pattern is a perfect way to bring the late spring or early summer garden indoors all year long. It is a perfect paper for a bedroom or any room desiring a retiring design.
This design was sold as both a wallpaper and textile pattern. The central figure of the owl is being “mobbed” by the surrounding birds. Mobbing is the action taken by smaller birds when a predator enters their space. Sort of like what happens in politics with two distinct political parties, but I digress. This soft mottled paper is a bird watcher’s delight. In muted shades of green, browns, red, and cream this paper would be appropriate for almost any room.

Oak Ledge" is a Morris style document reproduced from a client's sample. The two color ways are shades of grey green, or shades of butterscotch. The pattern is 21" wide with a 38 5/8" self matched repeat. A single 6-yard roll is approximately 30 square feet. Rolls are shipped on multi roll bolts and are untrimmed.
Poppies" was first produced as a printed textile and most famously as a silk bed cover. The lustrous shades of midnight blue and orange with highlights of gold and grey green make for a rich pattern indeed. Appropriate for any room in which one would want to drift away.
Soft pale purple birds in gently diagonal foliage with yellow fruit. This is classic Voysey from around the turn of the Twentieth Century. Originally produced as a textile this pattern is somewhat Art Nouveau in appearance, however it was in production and extremely popular well after Art Nouveau was in eclipse. This is a digitally produced paper and is 21" wide with a 19.553" vertical self-matching repeat.
Flat pattern reduced to a sophisticated simplicity, "Rook and Holly" was selected by Voysey for his own children's room. Three rather expectant black birds in a winter bare tree combined with holly sprigs ... a gift for any room!
This simple repeating pattern drawn late in Voysey's career was originally produced as a textile. It may be
If you are fond of morning glories, big morning glories, this is your pattern. If however you are of a timid nature, please do not fear this design because it is digitally produced and consequently scaleable. Howard Van Doren Shaw chose "The Saladin". Who is he? He would have been Chicago's better-known architect but for Frank Lloyd Wright. Shaw chose it for his own home, Ragdale, in Lake Forest. He was a Voysey admirer and imported British pattern for some of his projects. Voysey in the mid-west, …. in American Arts and Crafts houses, … see, …it does work! Be brave and try "The Saladin", full scale or reduced it is a very peaceful palette of greens and blues with pale yellow and red highlights. This design can be used in almost any room. Really! The Saladin is 21" wide by 14.833 in its original document scale and is self-matching.
This 1891 design of gulls on a rolling sea conjures the sounds of the surf, shore birds, and bracing salt spray off the ocean. The pattern was originally produced as both a woven textile and wallpaper and is available today as paper and printed fabric.
First produced as a woven fabric in 1891 this pattern by CFA Voysey is now available as wallpaper and printed textile. Gulls both afloat and perched on small islands with assorted foliage and pomegranates give a nautical flair to this robust early Voysey design.
Designed in 1901 by CFA Voysey and named for the type of small boat, "The Shallop" is a sublimely peaceful pattern that all lovers of the sea can instantly relate to. The salt fog, rocking gulls and solitary islands in tones of muted blue-grey greens all combine to suggest a peaceful journey through an uncomplicated world. "The Shallop" is a seaside vacation for your walls.
The Solanum is a soft and gently undulating rendering of stylized nightshade. In tones of peach, greens, and ochre this pattern would be lovely in bedrooms or any room where gentle repeating color is desired.

Though the colors in this pattern may suggest late autumn the blackbird and her nestlings speak of the spring to come. The undulating swirl of the branches and the contented squirrel suggest a peaceful woodland kingdom.
