Use this A4 wallpaper sample to preview the colour and texture of the Strawberry Thief design in your space. It features William Morris's iconic pattern on a burgundy background with a metallic soft yellow-tone print.
Perhaps William Morris's most recognisable design, Strawberry Thief was inspired by the thrushes that crept under Morris's strawberry nets in his garden at Kelmscott Manor, Oxfordshire.
The original pattern took several days to print using hand-carved woodblocks to build up the different colours, and 'Strawberry Thief' was consequently one of Morris's firm's most expensive cottons. Whilst waiting to see the first piece printed Morris endured sleepless nights in his lodgings at Merton Abbey.
Designed in 1883, Strawberry Thief remains one of William Morris's most popular and iconic designs. Strawberry Thief Fibrous Burgundy presents Morris famous design in a beautiful metallic soft yellow-tone print, giving texture and intrigue. Complimenting the textured, matt burgundy background of this wallpaper.
