Curvaceous and entwined, this floral trailing fabric was designed by William Morris in 1890 and originally a large-scale block-printed wallpaper. This stylised design has now been re-drawn and adapted as a furnishing fabric that recreates the subtle effects of the transparent inks used to print the original. It is also available as a wallpaper.
