Paired birds alternate between perched and in-flight in this serene 1878 tapestry design from William Morris. Surprising bursts of colour emerge upon closer inspection  pulling the eye towards the original hand-driven jacquard loom production quality. William Morris designed Bird in 1878 to adorn the walls of his own drawing room in Kelmscott House. His friend and neighbour  the noted typographer Sir Emery Walker  adorned his dining room with an identical Bird tapestry after receiving an inheritance from either Morris or Philip Webb  the famous Arts & Crafts architect.

Our modern Bird tapestry retains William Morris’s high regard for craftsmanship  being woven by Morris & Co. craftspeople right here in the UK using a cotton-wool blend (80% wool).

Available in two colourways: Tump Green and Webb’s Blue

Morris & Co. are thrilled to re-introduce Borage  an 1883 design by William Morris. Originally conceived as a furnishing fabric  Borage’s spirited floral pattern and multiple axes of symmetry bring a lively point of visual interest to any furniture item. Beloved by bees and other pollinators  Borage is a perfect example of William Morris drawing ideas about ornamenting interiors from the natural world.

Borage re-enters the Morris & Co. range due to the collaboration collection with Emery Walker’s House  the historic home of noted typographer and close friend of William Morris. Walker  dutiful to the design ideas of his friend William Morris  has used Borage as a furnishing fabric in his drawing room to great effect.

Available in three colourways: Sunflower  Indigo (loyal to Emery’s original) and Barbed Berry

The definition of a bower  a pleasant  shady place under trees or climbing plants in a garden or forest  aptly describes this upliftingly rich design. Registered as a William Morris pattern in 1877  Bower depicts a floral wonderland of foliage and flowers ripe with life. The Bough’s Green/Rose colourway is the closest to the joyous original  whilst Indigo and Barbed Berry/Indigo offer moodier and cooler hues respectively with Herball/Weld being a happy mid-tone.

Available in four colourways: Bough’s Green-Rose  Herball/Weld  Indigo and Barbed Berry/Indigo
