William Morris Orchard Pattern Metal Bookmark

Regular price $22.00

Acanthus leaves were a pervasive motif in William Morris's work. His associate, John Henry Dearle, took them and added a vertical element in the fruit tree trunks to create the pattern, Orchard. It is reminiscent of the embroidered wall hangings designed by Dearle and Morris's younger daughter, Mary, in the late 1890s.
