Avalonis represents the flow of eternal life  navigating and negotiating  limited only by the challenges we face. Produced on sumptuous cotton velvet or smart cotton satin.

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

Perhaps one of the most endearing qualities of William Morris was his love for ordinary flowers  native to the UK. Bluebell is an 1876 design that takes as its subject the charming  but common  bluebell flower. Morris’s design is a richly packed symmetrical arrangement and continues his tradition of naming the design after the secondary flower. Framed by bold acanthus leaves and entwined by larger foliage  the humble bluebell weaves this design together like it does the forest floor in spring.

Available in three colourways: Leafy Arbour  Indigo/Rose and Leaf Green/Sweet Briar

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

Bringing a luxurious feel to any interior  these four stunning jacquards are inspired by original domino designs in the Zoffany archive. Despite their provenance  the designs share a contemporary feel and an almost 3D appearance. Updated as a range of very smart and hugely versatile geometrics  each design is an excellent coordinate and a wonderful way to add interest into a room. Domino papers are the earliest form of wallpaper  printed by hand and originally used as book covers or for lining chests of drawers. Most popular during the 18th century  decorative single sheets were occasionally used to adorn the walls of smaller rooms and it’s these decorative papers that have influenced our collection of Domino Weaves.
