The Morris & Co. Borage pendant shade features the iconic 1883 floral pattern by William Morris, block printed onto the lampshade surface to replicate the original hand-crafted technique. Its multi-axis symmetrical design creates a lively, detailed repeat pattern with the natural variations characteristic of traditional block printing. The 18cm shade is constructed with careful attention to print registration, preserving the organic charm and subtle inconsistencies inherent to the process.
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.
