Opened in 1889, The Scottish National Portrait Gallery, designed by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson, is one of Edinburgh’s most outstanding buildings. In December 2011 the gallery re-opened following a period of dramatic renovation.
To help mark the union of old and new, Timorous Beasties were commissioned to create a collection of home accessories inspired by some of the gallery’s most iconic portraits, including Robert Burns, Bonnie Prince Charlie, Queen Anne, Mary Queen of Scots, and James VI.
Published by Vintage Classics, The Birds and Bees is a collection of five reissues that encapsulate the authors' own experiences, detailing the wonders, struggles and triumphs in their encounters with these wonderful winged creatures.
Timorous Beasties/Brintons first collaboration, from 2007, is a collection of exquisite, large-scale, directional carpets creating unparalleled beauty in flooring space.
