We’re excited to welcome Third Drawer Down to the Obus universe—starting with a stunning collection that brings fine art into everyday life.

This 100% linen tea towel features the iconic Waratahs artwork by one of Australia’s most celebrated modernists, Margaret Preston. Known for her bold depictions of native flora and striking asymmetrical compositions, Preston’s work is a celebration of uniquely Australian imagery.

In soft pink hues with Preston’s original signature, this piece doubles as a thoughtful gift or ready-to-hang textile artwork—perfect for art lovers and Australiana collectors alike.

About the Artist:
Margaret Preston’s work centred around creating a visual language that reflected Australian identity. Her floral subjects—like Banksias, Waratahs, and Gum Blossoms—remain some of the most powerful and radical images in modern Australian art history.
