Museums & Galleries - Leicester Wallpaper Card

Leicester Wallpaper is reproduced on this beautiful card from the Victoria & Albert range of  Museums & Galleries

Inspired by the earlier design 'Bachelors Button' of 1892, this evocative wallpaper encapsulates the romance of the medieval past that so inspired William Morris, and was designed by John Henry Dearle in 1912.

Gracefully arching leaves punctuated by mid-scale blooms, this wallpaper pattern is reproduced on this card with gold highlights. 

William Morris viewed patterns as both an art form and a means of social commentary.

In response to the industrial designs and manufacturing of the Machine Age, he created along with his peers, wallpapers and fabrics that boasted natural floral motifs and handmade craftmanship.

The Morris & Co. work and ideology were the leading inspiration for the Arts and Crafts movement.
