Story Behind the Art: William Morris, one of the most influential leaders of the 19th-century Arts & Crafts Movement, transformed the way home interiors were imagined by uniting traditional craftsmanship with nature-driven design. His rugs, often hand knotted in wool or silk, are recognized for their intricate floral and botanical patterns, harmonious symmetry, and enduring sense of refinement. Masterpieces such as the Bullerswood Carpet reflect his philosophy that everyday furnishings should embody both beauty and function. Initially woven in his Hammersmith and Merton Abbey workshops, Morris’s carpets earned a reputation for artistry and resilience. Today, Morris-style rugs are reinterpreted in both hand knotted and hand tufted forms as well as modern design collections, seamlessly blending historic charm with contemporary sophistication and lasting elegance for today’s homes.
