While
Morris preferred to create products using
traditional craft skills, he accepted the need to use machinery to supply affordable and practical objects. ‘Wreath’ is one of eight known designs
Morris produced for Kidderminster carpet (a further two were designed by John Henry Dearle), which were produced for
Morris & Co. by Heckmondwike Manufacturing Company Ltd., Yorkshire, beginning in the
late 19th century. Kidderminster carpets, also known as ‘Scotch’ or ‘inlaid’ carpets were comparatively cheap to produce and were previously more commonly found in corridors and servants rooms rather than drawing rooms. However,
Morris & Co. contributed to the popularisation of the technique and by the 1880s Kidderminster became fashionable for large townhouses, including that of Alexander and Euterpe Ionides, art collectors and great patrons of
Morris & Co., who ordered 13 yards of Kidderminster carpet “with fringing” for their house in Holland Park.
Morris believed this technique favoured “a small design in which different planes… are interlocked”, and whilst ‘Wreath’ is more complicated than other carpet designs of this time (see for example ‘Daisy’,
William Morris Gallery F369) it still follows this principle with its delicately interwoven repeat pattern.
