This now-discontinued fabric is repeated in Mrs. A’s apartment. Two of us had the pattern on the tips of our tongues, but cannot recall the name or the manufacturer. You’re such a wealth of information. Does anyone know?
Postscript: A savvy reader has emailed me to say that this is Christopher Hyland’s Cherubs. Many, many thanks.
I’m going to give a wild guess here … It looks like one of the Bloomsbury reproductions launched in 1987 by Laura Ashley, doesn’t it? I have a feeling I’m wrong but it reminds me of that collection.
Really, what’s in a name. I love it.
Cannot wait to find out the name?
It looks a lot like a Vanessa Bell pattern (as asthete’s lament said) but could it be a celia birtwell pattern? Not to self promote but here are some shots of her fabrics:

A computer illiterate person – here. I do know this fabric and have tried to respond to this 3 times over the past few days. Here goes again. The pattern is called “Cherubs” and was designed by Kim Bentley and Sally Spence for Christopher Hyland. I believe the fabric came out in 1990. I can understand the comments above as it does seem as if it could have been designed by Vanessa Bell or reinterpeted by Laura Ashley.
