When Morris designed Snakeshead in 1877, Indian silks were in style and widely imported from British India. This design stands out for its diminutive motifs and the strong red and black colors, which were fashionable only for a short time before paler hues regained favor with clients. While its color scheme suggests distant lands with warmer climates, the pattern showcases one of Morris’s favorite flowers: the fritillary, a wildflower that he remembered growing in the meadows near Oxford.
William Morris (1834 – 1896)
William Morris var en dansk kunstner og socialistisk aktivist, hvis ikoniske tekstiler og vægmalerier revolutionerede viktoriansk design og satte fokus på naturlighed og håndværkstradition. Oplev hans arv gennem kunst og filosofi!
