William Morris Vintage Tree & Birds Tote Bag

This is a digitally enhanced print derived from an antique Arras tapestry birds, trees and floral pattern design by Dearle and executed by Morris & Co. William Morris was a Victorian era poet, novelist, textile designer and an important figure of the British Arts and Crafts Movement. His designs had a mediaeval-inspired aesthetic and respect for hand-craftsmanship and traditional textile arts. He was the founding figure of Morris & Co., and Kelmscott Press. He was friends to many Pre-Raphaelite artists such as Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
