ABOUT GP&J BAKER

GP & J Baker is renowned as one of the world’s innovators of fabric design producing luxury fabrics, wallpapers and accessories under licence for Mulberry Home.

The company was founded in 1884 by brothers George Percival and James Baker establishing an inheritance full of innovation and drama.  Avid and discerning collectors of rare and iconic designs, the brothers began what has become one of the largest and most exciting privately owned textile archives in the world.

The company’s most popular designs printed in the early 1900s showed naturalistic drawn English garden flowers, and this became part of the enduring GP & J Baker style.  George Percival Baker was a passionate horticulturist himself, becoming a well-known figure in the Royal Horticultural Society.

A number of GP & J Baker designs have been in production for 50 to 100 years, each re-issue adding another layer of history to their considerable charm. More recently some have been translated into woven fabrics, embroideries and wallpapers. Always progressive, but maintaining strong links with its past, GP & J Baker will long continue to decorate the future.
