The Morris & Co. Borage lamp shade features the 1883 botanical pattern block printed onto card in a compact 14cm tall tapered form. The spirited floral design, with its multiple axes of symmetry, is rendered through block printing that retains the subtle hand-crafted variations of Morris's original technique. The tapered silhouette concentrates the repeating botanical motifs across a smaller surface area, maintaining the pattern's detail at a reduced scale.
William Morris, a close friend of master engraver Emery Walker, crafted the lively 'Borage' floral pattern in 1883, drawing inspiration from nature. Beloved by bees, this pattern is a lively, spirited floral design with multiple axes of symmetry, creating a captivating focal point in any room. We've carefully block printed 'Borage' onto lampshades, capturing Morris' original technique's timeless charm and unique variations, as once seen in Walker's Hammersmith home-a beautiful blend of history and craftsmanship.
