William Morris’s early trips to France were formative on his designs for woven and printed textiles and his lifelong commitment to promoting craftmanship of the highest order, the founding principle of Morris & Co. and the Arts and Crafts movement. Inspired by France’s colour-infused cathedral interiors, Morris & Co. introduce Rouen Velvets, a sumptuous collection of seven iconic designs printed on luxurious 100% cotton velvet. Team with other Morris & Co. designs to create a fascinating and immersive world full of all things Morris, embracing colour, texture and pattern in ways never seen before. Morris & Co. Rouen Velvets are suitable for drapes and upholstery. A classic Morris pattern originally designed as a wallpaper in 1864 Fruit has been carefully adapted into a luxurious velvet seen here for the first time. Reproduced in a variety of authentic colourways Fruit Velvet also features the magnificent contemporary tones of Walnut and Bullrush.In 1866/7 Morris & Co. was commissioned to decorate the Green Dining Room of the South Kensington Museum, now the Victoria and Albert Museum, with similar motifs of fruit and leaves. Available in four colourways: Indigo/Slate, Madder/Bayleaf, Walnut/Bullrush and Privet/Thyme
