LIBERTY MAY MORRIS ARCADIA TRAIL

Description

May Morris designed three wallpapers for Morris & Co: Honeysuckle, Hornpoppy, and Arcadia. Dating from c.1886, Arcadia was her final wallpaper design for the firm before she devoted herself almost entirely to embroidery. Nearly 140 years later, the Liberty studio has carefully revived this wonderful pattern, preserving the delicate linework, subtle tonal variations, and considered colour harmony of the original. Celebrated as a quintessential Arts & Crafts botanical, the design presents intertwined floral stems against a backdrop of hawthorn leaves and flowers, carrying forward Morris’ enduring design legacy.
