With their instant familiarity, these flowing botanical motifs depicting fruits, flowers, foliage and wildlife, still hold the same charm as when they were designed in the late Victorian era.<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate 160 years of\u00a0Morris &amp; Co, the company is launching two new books featuring the designer\u2019s iconic fabric and wallpaper patterns, alongside an exceptional new wallpaper panel.<\/p>\n<p>The patterns in the new books include classic designs such as &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Strawberry_Thief_(William_Morris)\">Strawberry Thief<\/a>&#8216;, &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Strawberry_Thief_(William_Morris)\">Willow Bough<\/a>&#8216;, &#8216;<strong>Fruit<\/strong>&#8216; and &#8216;<strong>Trellis<\/strong>&#8216;. Morris\u2019s designs are filled with lush flora that you might find embroidered on tapestries or embellishing the pages of an illuminated manuscript. He also drew on the British landscape, observing the fields, hedgerows and gardens for plants to sketch and feature in his work.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2604\" src=\"https:\/\/daviesis.io\/cheshirecurtain\/wp-content\/uploads\/Morris-Co-image-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"867\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The new wallpaper panel takes its inspiration from the 1890 Holy Grail tapestries, designed by Morris and collaborator Edward Burne-Jones for the dining room of Stanmore Hall in north London.<\/p>\n<p>These tapestries illustrate scenes from the legend of King Arthur and the quest for the grail and are inhabited by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Merciful_Knight\">Burne-Jones\u2019 Pre-Raphaelite knights<\/a> in the depths of Morris\u2019s forest scenes. The trees and wildlife in the background of these tapestries form the basis for the new \u2018Owl &amp; Willow\u2019 panel, a captivating landscape filled with hand-painted foliage, animals and flowers.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2605\" src=\"https:\/\/daviesis.io\/cheshirecurtain\/wp-content\/uploads\/Morris-Co-image-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1366\" height=\"1366\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Over the years, Morris &amp; Co has played with the colours in the original designs. Most recently, Ben Pentreath\u2019s collection for Morris &amp; Co, inspired by colourways the company developed in the Sixties, has given some familiar patterns such as \u2018Willow Bough\u2019, \u2018Blackthorn\u2019 and \u2018Marigold\u2019, a rich, saturated update.<\/p>\n<p>Morris &amp; Co\u2019s popularity is something to celebrate.
