Strawberry Thief Deep Blue Wallpaper

Perhaps William Morris's most recognisable design, Strawberry Thief was inspired by the thrushes that crept under Morris's strawberry nets in his garden at Kelmscott Manor, Oxfordshire. The original pattern took several days to print using hand-carved woodblocks to build up the different colours, and 'Strawberry Thief' was consequently one of Morris's firm's most expensive cottons. Whilst waiting to see the first piece printed, Morris endured sleepless nights in his lodgings at Merton Abbey. Designed in 1883, Strawberry Thief remains one of William Morris's most popular and iconic designs. Strawberry Thief Deep Blue provides a depth of rich colour featuring hues of muted red, teal and dark blue, partnered with pops of lighter tones to accentuate the detail within the design. This matt finish wallpaper invites the outdoors in, in a complimenting and easy on the eye manner.
