    About The Artwork

    Add a delightfully decadent touch to your kitchen with this exclusive Beryl Cook tea towel, available only through House of Voltaire. Featuring Beryl Cook’s iconic 1993 painting ‘Elvira’s Café’ and produced exclusively for House of Voltaire, this functional homeware piece captures a deeply personal slice of Beryl Cook’s domestic life. ‘Elvira’s Café’ depicts the patrons of the eponymous cafe on the Admiral's Hard, near the Plymouth docks. Elvira’s was, at this point, run by Cook’s son and daughter-in-law, seen here glancing archly at the marine in the centre of the image. Vibrant and rich with family history, this high-quality kitchen textile turns an everyday essential into a collectable piece of art, making it a wonderful addition to your home or a striking wall-hanging display.
