The beautiful designs of Florence Broadhurst in a range of high-quality rugs.

Charismatically fearless from word go, she spent the roaring Twenties singing across the Far East’s colonial reaches and ran a finishing school in Shanghai. In London, she became “Madame Pellier”, a French couturier proud to dress the rich and famous. She moved back to Australia as an aristocratic English lady; an entrepreneur, society figurehead and landscape painter.
With every incarnation, Florence became somebody new – new hair colour, new accent, new history. Even, on occasion, a new name. At the age of 60, she did it again, launching in Sydney her defining venture – an internationally-successful, luxury, hand-print wallpaper business.
Florence Broadhurst’s archive grew to over 500 images ranging from tapestries to geometrics, florals, psychedelic, and delightfully eccentric chinoiserie.
