William Morris Tapestries

William Morris icon

William Morris tapestries are such a distinctive wall decor and they make a remarkable impression in your room or home.

They are unique in their designs because of their sense of movement and organic composition. They show a variety of scenes from legendary or even religious stories to simply a scene from nature or the gardens which Morris enjoyed watching.

Morris was born in 1834 in Walthamstow, England, and his influence in the decorative arts of the Victorian era inspired the revival of the decorative arts and crafts in the 19th century. Morris and Co from 1875, produced furnishings, stained glass, tapestries and wallpapers that people desire, to this day.

It was his Pre-Raphaelite ideals of beauty in home decor, shared by colleague Edward Burne-Jones, that inspired them to create decor which defied the industrial Victorian age, and were unique and original, and in turned inspired the art nouveau movement.

William Morris tapestries uses natural elements such as the acanthus leaves, vines and flowers to create distinctive patterns and details.

These Victorian tapestries including the Forest, Tree of Life, The Peacock, The Adoration of the Magi, Ehret die Frauen, Orange Tree, The Holy Grail, Flora and Pomona tapestries and more in this tapestry category, have been inspired by the original works of Morris.

"Tapestry is a bright dream" Morris said, and tapestries based on his origical works are truly distinctive pieces of art. Browse our great range of William Morris themed tapestries here.
