This iconic pattern forms a part of The Gallery’s collection in earlier printed chintz and wallpaper lengths. The design is based on the natural willow form which was one of William Morris’ favourite motifs. Originally designed by William Morris as a wallpaper in 1887 and adapted for fabric in 1895, it is block printed in a diagonal branch pattern at Merton Abbey and combines abstraction with a gentle reminder to the outdoors. Simple, yet stunning, Willow Bough Plum wallpaper displays trailing leaves with subtle boldness through lush purple and pink tones, complimented by popping rose inspired orange, completed with a matt finish for a sophisticated modern feel.
