Quote by William Kent (c. 1685 – 12 April 1748) the eminent English architect, landscape architect, painter and furniture designer of the early 18th century. He began his career as a painter, and became Principal Painter in Ordinary or court painter, but his real talent was for design in various media.

Kent introduced the Palladian style of architecture into England with the villa at Chiswick House, and also originated the 'natural' style of gardening known as the English landscape garden at Chiswick, Stowe House in Buckinghamshire, and Rousham House in Oxfordshire. As a landscape gardener he revolutionised the layout of estates, but had limited knowledge of horticulture.

He complemented his houses and gardens with stately furniture for major buildings including Hampton Court Palace, Chiswick House, Devonshire House and Rousham.

The leaves are perfect for all year round use in the garden, hanging from trees, fixed to a wall or fence. Even perfect for Christmas hanging from your tree or the mantlepiece. Why not hang inside during the festive season then outside for the rest of the year?

Part of a series of tree leaves featuring unexpected and charming, sometimes seasonal quotes. Available singly. Each has a 3mm hole on the stalk. They can be hung using nylon line or string. Supplied flat. Can also be simply bent by hand or with pliers for a naturalistic effect. 

Suitable for outdoor and indoor settings.
