Morris's Tribute to a Thameside Wildflower
The Bobbi Beck Snakeshead Arts and Crafts Floral Wallpaper is based on Snakeshead, designed by William Morris in 1876 and reportedly one of his personal favourites. Influenced by Indian textiles and Persian carpets, it shows nodding snakeshead fritillaries, a wildflower of the Thameside meadows, among grand interlocking foliage. Snakeshead comes in dark green, gold, dark blue, brown, light blue, light green, pink or purple on Premium, Luxury or Superluxe paper, in 75 cm x 7 m rolls.
Styling
Flame-like motifs and spiky leaf clusters are held in rhythm by delicate scrolling tendrils. Use Snakeshead for a striking statement wall or to add historic allure to a modern interior, with deep upholstery and antique accents.
How to Use
With eight colourways, order a few samples to compare. Measure your walls, work out your 75 cm drops and order all rolls together. Choose a paper grade and hang using standard methods.
