The Morris & Co. Bower empire lamp shade features the iconic 'Bower' floral pattern, registered in 1877 and printed onto cotton fabric. Its intricate foliage and flower motifs create a layered, botanical composition with rich indigo and barbed berry tones. The printed cotton construction captures the depth and detail characteristic of Morris's original textile designs.
Emery Walker, a master engraver and close collaborator of William Morris, lived just a few hundred yards from Morris in Hammersmith, both enjoying views of the Thames. Among the wonderful designs created by Morris and found in Walker’s house is the enchanting 'Bower' pattern. Registered in 1877, 'Bower' evokes a floral wonderland, brimming with life and vitality. Its name perfectly captures the essence of a pleasant, shaded retreat under trees or climbing plants. We adore how this uplifting design, with its intricate foliage and flowers, has now been beautifully transformed into our lampshades, allowing Morris's timeless creations to live on in modern interiors.
