Design for Painted Ceiling Decoration (2.1.1886)

© William Morris Gallery, London Borough of Waltham Forest

Details

Date: 2.1.1886
Object Type: design
Catalogue number: A476
Designer: Morris, William, 1834, 1896

Although extensively annotated in another hand- perhaps by George Wardle, Morris & Co’s. business manager- the design is apparently by Morris himself (whose own annotations are in pencil). The supposition that the pattern was intended for painted panelling is based on its resemblance to earlier designs for panelling at St James’s Palace and for George Howard’s house at 1 Palace Green.
