1878 Vintage William Morris Flowerpot Body Cushion

The design on this product is inspired by “Flowerpot” an art needlework embroidery design in silk on linen that was created by William Morris in 1878 and was at that time available from Morris and company as a design for a cushion or fire screen. William Morris was an English textile designer, poet novelist, translator, and social activist and was a major contributor to the revival of traditional British textile arts and methods of production. Much of his work can be found in art galleries and museums and his designs are still in production. Although best known in his lifetime as a poet, Morris is recognised as one of the most significant cultural figures of Victorian Britain.
