William Morris At Home Compton Velvet Cushion, Burnt Orange

William Morris sought to transform homes with colours and patterns that reflected the beauty of the natural world. Compton features exquisite tulips and honeysuckle against layers of meandering foliage. Originally printed by hand, using twenty-eight wooden blocks with a different block for each colour, this design translates as a beautiful silhouette onto a luxurious cut velvet quality, in a rich burnt orange shade.
