Morris Violet & Columbine
1883

Designed by William Morris and registered on 7 April 1883 and woven at Merton Abbey. It came in four colourways. This design was shown for the first time at the Boston Foreign Fair in 1883. This piece is of course too small to get a whole repeat. It would look great mounted and put on a stretcher, or framed.

31 x 9 1/2 in; 80 x 24 cm.

Very good.
