Morris And Co Wallpaper

A new addition to the Morris & Co. wallpaper range, Emery’s Willow features unmistakable bubble-like shapes as a backdrop, introducing an element of play to this 1874 design. The willow tree, with its delicately entwining branches and curling leaves, is a motif William Morris returned to throughout his creative life.

Emery’s Willow is inspired by a wallpaper design hung in the drawing room of esteemed typographer, book printer and friend of William Morris, Sir Emery Walker. It re-enters the Morris & Co. range as a result of the collaboration collection between Morris & Co. and Emery Walker’s House.

Morris & Co. are thrilled to reintroduce Elmcote, a magnificently brooding 1900 design from designer, J.H. Dearle. Dearle’s training as William Morris’s tapestry apprentice is beautifully demonstrated here in Elmcote. With gallant seedheads and miniature flowers, the design is connected by swirling foliage arranged in a classically Dearle style.

Elmcote re-enters the Morris & Co. collection due to the collaboration collection with Emery Walker’s House, the historic home of noted typographer and close friend of William Morris, Sir Emery Walker.

Scrolling acanthus leaves and abundant blooms feature in this beautiful Morris & Co. wallpaper taken from our archive.

An iconic design from 1864, Fruit is one of Morris’s earliest wallpapers.

This wonderfully ornate Morris wallpaper design from 1877 was originally printed using wood blocks to imitate Japanese Leather papers, which was a technique perfected by Jeffrey and Co. in the 1880s. Todays version faithfully reproduces some of the earliest colourways whilst introducing a new softer palette with subtle metallic highlights.

Daisy was the first wallpaper to be produced by Morris & Co. and was inspired by medieval illustrations. Morris created this design after embroidering daisy motifs on wallhangings for the Red House. This version retains the naively drawn daisies and ranunculuses of the wallpaper but has been simplified by the removal of background tufts of grass and is available in the original colourways.

Just like a rekindled love affair, Ben discovered this iconic print stowed away in our archive. Instantly mesmerised, he recoloured and updated Compton to include cheerful daffodil yellows and vibrant pops of indigo blue, poppy red and sunset orange.

Chrysanthemum Toile has been inspired by the metal outline of the embossed and gilded Chrysanthemum wallpaper produced by Jeffrey & Co. in the 1880s.  This beautiful wallpaper has been highlighted in metallic inks using the surflex printing method.

A stylised pattern of blackberry briars with berries and white flowers cover this wallpaper designed in 1879 by Kate Faulkner - a talented sister of one of the partners of Morris & Co. Available as a fabric of the same name, this design is produced in dramatic colourways.

This wallpaper was inspired by a carpet hand-woven at Merton Abbey and exhibited by Morris & Co. at the 1893 Arts and Crafts Society exhibition.

Rising to the surface of this densely packed design is a forest floor full of floral delight. Influenced by the composition of medieval woodcuts, William Morris designed Bower in 1877 as a vibrant tribute to the forest walks and flowers he so adored. Bough’s Green/Rose is the closest colour story to Morris’s original, whilst Indigo and Herball offer cooler variations.

Bower returns to the Morris & Co. collection for the first time in many years in the Emery Walker’s House collection, echoing the beautiful garden lovingly maintained by Dorothy Walker.

Taken from our archive this design was originally a ceiling paper by Arts and Crafts designer Andrew Brophy (1844-1912).

This delightful wallpaper design shows birds swooping, perching and pecking amidst branches of foliage and pomegranate fruit.

Blackthorn designed for wallpaper by J.H. Dearle in 1892 was first adapted for machine printed fabric in 1975 by Sanderson and became hugely popular.

Morris & Co. are thrilled to reintroduce Borage, an 1883 design by William Morris. Translated for the first time on to wallpaper, Borage is a spirited floral pattern with multiple symmetrical axes, lending the eye many pleasing resting points. 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, Sir Emery Walker.

Originally a monochrome precursor to Morris’s much-loved Strawberry Thief (1883) were thrilled that Ben chose this design from our archive transforming it into a vibrant strong Olive/Turquoise colourway.

Inspired by an archive pattern book with Batchelor’s Button on the cover, we’re proud to say this design was the catalyst for Ben Pentreath’s Morris & Co. x Queen Square collection.
