Create a stunning feature wall with the William Morris Blue Pimpernel wallpaper, a hand block printed design featuring large tulips and delicate pimpernel flowers in rich blue and teal tones. This authentic British wallpaper from a renowned UK brand brings historic charm to any room.
This hand block printed design features large sensual tulips and their curling leaves, entwined with foliage and small pimpernel flowers. The pattern is a wonderful example of William Morris' sense of humour since on initial inspection your eye is drawn towards the dominating, graphic tulip heads and yet the name of the design is attributed to the secondary floral detail; the smaller Pimpernel flower.
The design layout is almost symmetrical and was hung at Kelmscott Manor, the summer home of William Morris in West Oxfordshire. The Gallery's archive includes an original Pimpernel hand block printed wallpaper length.
Pimpernel blue features the merging of rich blue and teal tones dressing the vines, contrasted with the gilded floral pimpernels.
