In 1882 he set up his own architecture practice and from the late 1880s started to design repeating patterns for wallpaper, woven and printed textiles and carpets. \r\n\r\nVoysey's most interesting designs date from this time and show the influence of William Morris's principles of pattern design and use of plant forms and animals as standard motifs. Voysey's textiles are dominated by flowing patterns incorporating birds, deer, hearts, flowers and trees in silhouette. He sold his work to manufacturers such as G. P. & J. Baker, Thomas Wardle and Alexander Morton, and many of his designs were sold through Liberty in London. Voysey's work was well known in continental Europe, and though popular with French Art Nouveau designers, his influence was felt more dramatically by the founders of the Modern movement.","physicalDescription":"Border of carpet of machine-woven wool Axminster type manufacture. The design shows ochre and fawn coloured scrolling leaves with a red tulip flowerhead repeating at intervals. A small subsidiary design of passion flower leaves in pale green and ochre can also be seen. The border design is identical to that used for the field. The carpet border has two inner stripes and four outer guard stripes in ochre, fawn and pale green ending in a broad 1.5 inch (3.6 cms) dark blue outer band.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"C.
