Artisan Notes (For Makers & Creatives)
Wentworth is a beautifully restrained late‑Art‑Deco pattern — clean, architectural, and quietly confident. Introduced in 1938, it reflects the era’s shift toward modernism: crisp lines, subtle stepped details, and a silhouette that feels tailored rather than ornate. It’s the kind of pattern that doesn’t shout for attention but rewards a closer look with its balance and precision.
