Fabrics
The Emery Walker’s House collection by Morris & Co. features 28 fabrics, all carefully collated and coloured to complement both traditional and contemporary interior design styles. Bask in the beauty of remarkable prints and weaves, faithfully produced to the highest quality. We absolutely love the Flowers by May fabric (image 1 below), with its meadow flowers in jewel-like tones and fascinating backstory. Originally used to decorate the seat of a 17thcentury chair which once stood in William Morris’s library until his death, this stunning design now resides in the home of Emery Walker, with the dedication “MM to EW” on the cushion cover created by May Morris.
The Rose fabric is another beautiful example, an original 1883 William Morris fabric design which adorned the drawing room of Sir Emery Walker. Available in 2 delightful colour ways (shown in image 2 below in the Bough’s Green/Rose colour way).
The range also comprises of some carefully crafted embroideries with hand finished details to capture the designs’ intricacies and cherished origins. The Daisy Embroidery is a newly embroidered fabric version of Morris & Co.’s earliest wallpaper (1864), Daisy, which adorned the home of Sir Emery Walker. Featuring colourful floral miniatures with hand-knotted and chunky stitching detail, this tactile design commemorates centuries of craftwork and works beautifully for window dressings or cushions (image 3 below).
