William Morris Wandle English Floral Damask Design Postcard

Immerse yourself in the grandeur of the William Morris "Wandle" pattern. Named after the river that flowed past Morris’s Merton Abbey works, this 1884 masterpiece is a hallmark of the Arts and Crafts Movement, celebrated for its extraordinary scale and rhythmic energy. The design features large, majestic flower heads in shades of rich crimson and sunset orange, set against a deep moss-green background teeming with delicate smaller blossoms and swirling foliage. The distinctive striped "ribbon" or vine that winds diagonally through the composition creates a sense of continuous, flowing life. This intricate tapestry reflects the Pre-Raphaelite love for nature’s wild abundance and remains one of the most sophisticated examples of 19th-century British textile art. Perfect for fans of heritage decor, botanical maximalism, and the "English Country House" aesthetic, this iconic print brings museum-quality history and bold elegance to any modern home.
