Handcrafted Denby collections hold a special place in people’s hearts and are often passed down through generations, bringing about a fantastic opportunity to get creative with mixing old and current patterns for a unique look.

We featured the pairing of Denby Chevron and Natural Canvas in a previous blog article. This time, our focus on Denby highlights how the neutral tones and intricate flower design of Daybreak are complemented by pieces from the Linen collection. They’re a natural match.

Daybreak – immensely popular in the 1980s and 90s – features a stylised white Christmas Rose design that is set off beautifully when paired with Linen, with its classic shape, calm oatmeal tones and uncluttered look.

The handcrafting expertise is clear to see across both of these Derbyshire-manufactured collections. Because Daybreak was in production for a period of around 25 years, the pieces display variations in the depth and intensity of colour, particularly within the brown fleck and rust border.

Our stocks of this vast collection are good. So if you’d like to make a feature of its special Christmas Rose pattern this festive season, take a look at Daybreak and consider pairing it with versatile and durable Linen for a table setting that’s both classic and creative.
