William Morris 140503 Strawberry Thief Washed 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 Washed Blue provides an artist interpretation of Morris' classic design, introducing multiple shades of beige with a deep teal blue, beautifully accented by pops of light cream, against a dark teal blue backdrop. Providing a soft intricacy to any room that it features in. Strawberry Thief wallpaper in washed blue color by Graham and Brown is a popular wallpaper in the William Morris At Home SS25 collection.
