A design by the artistic hands of John Henry Dearle, Cornflower is a bold composition in his signature vine-like style. Honouring the original archive document, the central floral motifs have been preserved, while the repeat has been thoughtfully reimagined to flow as a full-coverage embroidery. The jacquard ground, detailed with signature dots, echoes Dearle’s distinctive decorative language, resonating strongly with the Morris & Co. design team. An inscription in the margin of the original archive document reads, “Will something like this do / for the suggested staircase paper / a la vine tapestry? / H.D.” A charming glimpse into the creative dialogue of the time, and a reminder of the artist-to-artist connection this collection celebrates across the centuries. A unique two-tone dyed yarn brings subtle movement and depth to the design, offering a soft, matte finish. Cornflower is a celebration of florals, featuring tulips, acanthus, daisies and, of course, the cornflower itself.

As a political theorist, publisher, environmental campaigner, poet, as well as an outstanding designer, William Morris (1834–1896) was one of the single most influential figures of the nineteenth century. Under his direction Morris & Co. grew to the status of Arts & Crafts icon that it remains to this day.
Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. (1861–1875) was a furnishings and decorative arts manufacturer and retailer founded by the artist and designer William Morris with friends from the Pre-Raphaelites. With its successor Morris & Co. (1875–1940) the firm's medieval-inspired aesthetic and respect for hand-craftsmanship and traditional textile arts had a profound influence on the decoration of churches and houses into the early 20th century.
Although its most influential period was during the flourishing of the Arts and Crafts Movement in the 1880s and 1890s, Morris & Co. remained in operation in a limited fashion from World War I until its closure in 1940. The firm's designs are still sold today under licences given to Sanderson & Sons.
