Morris & Co Snakeshead Silk Swatch - Red

The Morris & Co Snakeshead swatch presents an Indian-inspired cluster print of snakeshead fritillaries, originally produced in 1876 and here rendered on silk fabric. Golden velvet tape borders the swatch, with a gold silk lining on the reverse providing structure and a complementary finish. The rich claret and gold colourway reflects the depth of the original design, making it a detailed reference for fabric assessment.

Reportedly one of Morris’s favourite designs and originally produced in 1876, this Indian-inspired design has been printed on silk and features clusters of snakeshead fritillaries. Taped with golden velvet, and lined with gold silk, this is Pooky's extravagant take on this classic Morris masterpiece.
