MORRIS & CO

The beautiful Melsetter collection was created as a celebration of the considerable talents and work of May Morris, whose standing as one of Britain’s most influential figures in English embroidery has long been overshadowed by dint of her lineage, being William Morris’s youngest daughter.

Featuring seven embroideries, seven prints and 10 wallpapers, the intricate designs in the collection deftly appeal to both traditional and contemporary tastes, and offer faithful copies of archive documents as well as reinterpretations of original designs.
