Wallpaper
We had some of our precious William Morris wallpaper left over after using it on the chimney breast in the lounge, and so decided to use it behind our bed, but we didn't quite have enough for the correct pattern repeat needed for the 4 lengths. But my clever husband worked out how to do a bit of 'patching' to make it work...it looks fab and you can't see the joins at all. I will blip the finished wall another day.
This particular wallpaper is one of early William Morris designs. A bit of history below if anyone is interested.
This early wallpaper design by William Morris (1834-1896) is known as 'Fruit' or 'Pomegranate' and dates from around 1865. It borrows motifs from Morris's medieval-style tapestry work, displaying a historical influence that his early work in the decorative arts shares with the Pre-Raphaelite artists and with their supporter, the art critic John Ruskin.
It also highlights his interest in naturalism and plant forms.
