New Festive favourite
A seasonal collection that draws inspiration from the Bird and Yare designs, iconic patterns from the William Morris Gallery archives, the original home of William Morris.
Yare, created by John Henry Dearle after 1892, was first block-printed onto cotton at Merton Abbey. Its symmetrical design, named after the River Yare in Norfolk, features scrolling acanthus leaves and flowers in pale blue, red, and yellow on a dark blue background. Bird, designed by Morris himself in 1878 for his London home, Kelmscott House, showcases a deep blue foliage backdrop adorned with idealised birds both perched and in flight. As his first textile design to combine birds and flowers, Bird laid the foundation for Morris’s celebrated nature-inspired patterns. Together, these designs reflect the timeless artistry and rich heritage of the William Morris tradition.
