William Morris Strawberry Thief Tapestry 61 cm x 150 cm

Where Heritage Meets Your Walls

The William Morris Strawberry Thief Tapestry by Printworks brings one of the most celebrated patterns in British design history into your home. Inspired by Morris's original 1883 indigo-discharge print, this tapestry captures the same intricate composition of thrushes stealing strawberries amongst dense, curling foliage — rendered here in rich jewel-toned blues, deep greens, and warm berry accents that feel as alive today as they did in the Arts and Crafts era.

Woven with precision, the tapestry has a satisfying weight and texture that reads beautifully from across a room. Whether hung above a bed, anchored to a feature wall in a living room, or used to soften a hallway, it brings instant warmth, colour, and a sense of considered taste to any interior. The supplied velvet hanging rope adds a finishing touch that feels considered rather than afterthought — no wall hook is included, giving you the freedom to choose a fixing that suits your wall type and aesthetic.

Key Features

This tapestry measures 61 cm wide by 150 cm tall (24" x 59"), making it a substantial statement piece with genuine visual presence. It arrives supplied with a velvet hanging rope ready to display. Please note that a wall hook is not included. The design is rooted in William Morris's iconic Strawberry Thief pattern, first produced in 1883 and widely regarded as one of the finest examples of Arts and Crafts textile design. The colour palette centres on deep indigo blues and forest greens with warm red and cream accents, making it versatile across both traditional and contemporary interiors.

How to Use

Thread the velvet hanging rope through the tapestry's hanging sleeve or loops, then secure to a wall hook of your choice. For best results, choose a hook rated for the weight of the tapestry and position it at a height that allows the full 150 cm drop to be appreciated. The tapestry suits plaster, brick, and timber walls equally well. For a layered look, pair with botanical prints, warm-toned ceramics, or natural linen textiles to complement the Arts and Crafts palette.
