Morris and Co Archive wallpapers feature 11 iconic designs from the Morris & Co. archive. Morris's wallpaper designs are among the best-known examples of his work and he personally designed 46 wallpapers and five ceiling papers over his career but here it is narrowed down to eleven unique and special designs. Designs such as Artichoke are included where the original design by John Henry Dearle in 1898 as a multicoloured wallpaper has been reworked in a stunning monotone version where the boldness of the artichoke motif now creates the impact, and with three colour choices to choose from. Aside from the regular designs of Willow, Pimpernel and Golden Lily the range also houses his Branch wallpaper design a simple all-over leaf pattern available in seven shades Branch can easily be used with more decorative furnishings and wallpapers to complete a scheme it was designed by William Morris in 1871. Garden Tulip keeps us fascinated with the outdoors and this is a simple pattern of tulip stems wandering over a leafy ground which can you believe was designs in by Morris in 1885. Scroll is often forgotten but just like Branch it has a background of leaves taken from the Branch wallpaper design and features trailing leaves and marigold flowers that meander over the beautiful design. Each of the William Morris wallpaper designs has been reproduced as faithfully to the originals as possible in scale and colour, some have also been given a 21st century twist with metallic inks and modern printing techniques.
