William Morris Larkspur Floral Pattern Invitation Belly Band

William Morris’s "Larkspur" (1874) is a stunning example of his textile design work, combining intricate floral motifs with his characteristic style. The design features the larkspur flower, which is elegantly woven into a repetitive pattern of delicate, curved stems and blossoms. The colour palette is soft and harmonious, with shades of deep blues, greens, and soft purples, creating a natural, almost serene ambiance. Morris’s work reflects the Arts and Crafts Movement’s ideals, emphasising craftsmanship, the beauty of nature, and a return to handmade artistry. The pattern is full of life, yet maintains a timeless quality, showcasing the delicate balance between nature and design.
