Willow Bough Plum Block Printed Diagonal Branch Wallpaper by William Morris 124243

The Gallery's collection showcases distinctive designs, including early chintz prints and wallpaper, with a focus on natural motifs. Inspired by the organic shape of the willow, which William Morris greatly admired, this pattern reflects his love for nature. Originally designed as wallpaper in 1887 and later adapted for textiles in 1895, it was produced at Merton Abbey using block printing to create a diagonal branch pattern. The Willow Bough Plum wallpaper features elegant falling leaves in deep purples and pinks, with vibrant orange accents reminiscent of roses, set against a matte background for a modern, sophisticated look.
