The Morris & Co. Borage straight empire lamp shade brings the lively 1883 'Borage' floral pattern to life through block printing onto card. The multi-axis symmetry of the design creates a repeating, spirited floral composition with natural tonal variations inherent to the block printing process. Printed in red house colourway, the card construction provides a firm structure while retaining the authentic character of Morris's original hand-printed technique.
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.
