Rising to the surface of this densely packed design is a forest floor full of floral delight. Influenced by the composition of medieval woodcuts, William Morris designed Bower in 1877 as a vibrant tribute to the forest walks and flowers he so adored. Bough’s Green/Rose is the closest colour story to Morris’s original, whilst Indigo and Herball offer cooler variations.
Bower returns to the Morris & Co. collection for the first time in many years in the Emery Walker’s House collection, echoing the beautiful garden lovingly maintained by Dorothy Walker.
