The Speculating Rook

textiles for the curious and discerning

Welcome to The Speculating Rook, home to textiles for the curious and discerning. Here you will find beasts for any occasion and if you can’t find what you are looking for please ask.

The collection extends from cushions to curtains to footstools and lightshades. Designed and made using both old and new cloth - ancient wool blankets, printed cotton or worn denim, silk velvet and linen all lend themselves to screen-printed and embroidered embellishment.
