About William Morris
During the Victorian era covering the 64-year reign of Queen Victoria from 1837-1901, William Morris founded the English Arts and Crafts movement.
In 1861, Morris set up his own company, producing a range of decorative items for home, including furniture, rugs and textiles, ceramics and stained glass. One of Morris’s chief contributions was as a designer of repeating patterns for wallpaper and textiles, many of which were based on nature and flora.
