The Morris & Co. Bower empire lamp shade features the intricate 'Bower' floral pattern, registered in 1877, printed onto cotton in a compact 16cm empire form. The design layers herbaceous green and weld yellow tones with multi-coloured botanical detail, reflecting the density and craftsmanship of Morris's original hand-drawn artwork. The tapered empire silhouette concentrates the pattern effectively at a smaller scale, making it well suited to table lamps and smaller pendant fittings. Cotton fabric construction supports clear print definition across the foliage and flower motifs.
