Sale - William Morris Heraldic Scarf

ENLARGE

The botanical pattern on this scarf is based on details from a watercolor sketch by William Morris (British, 1834–1896). Poet, political activist, architect, and designer, Morris ranks among the most influential figures of the Victorian era. He and his lifelong friend and creative partner Edward Burne-Jones were fascinated by the exploits of King Arthur and the writings of Chaucer. Not only did the two artists look to medieval art and architecture for decorative ideas, but they also saw the structure of the medieval guilds as a model for their creative enterprises. In 1861, they and others cofounded the successful firm later known as Morris & Co. The company’s enduringly popular designs for wallpaper, stained glass, furniture, and fabric reflect Morris’s own interests in medieval art and the close study of nature, and were often densely patterned with flowers, leaves, and fruit. Produced in cooperation with The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens.

Imported wool and silk. 62 in. x 17 in. Available in black/red or khaki/olive.
