The Morris & Co. Borage lamp shade presents the 1883 floral pattern block printed directly onto card, preserving the subtle tonal variations inherent to the original technique. The design features multiple axes of symmetry across its spirited botanical motifs, creating a structured yet organic repeat across the shade's surface. Block printing onto card captures the slight irregularities characteristic of Morris's hand-crafted printing 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.
