Sidewall, Honeysuckle
This is a sidewall. It was designed by May Morris and manufactured by Arthur Sanderson and Arthur Sanderson & Sons, Ltd. and made for Morris & Co.. It is dated 1934 and we acquired it in 1935. Its medium is block-printed paper. It is a part of the Wallcoverings department.
May Morris learned to embroider from her mother and aunt before enrolling at the National Art Training School in London in 1881. Her studies included life drawing with and botanical sketches in the wild, a design practice she continued throughout her life. Such careful observations helped her to capture what she describes as “the garden tangle” of honeysuckle in this design.
