Royal Jardiniere by Cole & Son

Depicting one of King William lll and Queen Mary ll’s blossoming orange trees, Royal Jardinière is a print featuring elements originally conceptualised by master artist Antonio Verrio. The King’s Little Bedchamber at Hampton Court Palace features orange trees in these ornate pedestals surrounded by opulent pink marble, giving its symmetrical structure a classical grandeur. The design celebrates the joint monarchs’ impressive collection of various rare plants from around the globe, known as the ‘Exoticks’ and also alludes to William’s ancestry, as a member of the House of Orange.
