William Morris At Home Strawberry Thief Fibrous Charcoal Wallpaper

Inspired by the thrushes that frequented William Morris's garden at Kelmscott Manor, Oxfordshire, Strawberry Thief is perhaps his most recognisable design. The original pattern, designed in 1883, required several days to print using hand-carved woodblocks to build up the different colours, making 'Strawberry Thief' one of Morris's firm's most expensive cottons. It's said that Morris endured sleepless nights in his Merton Abbey lodgings, waiting to see the first piece printed.Strawberry Thief Fibrous Charcoal presents this famous design in a beautiful metallic copper print, adding texture and intrigue. This wallpaper beautifully complements the textured, matt charcoal background. Strawberry Thief remains one of William Morris's most popular and iconic designs.
