Sidewall, Marigold
This is a sidewall. It was made by Morris & Co.. It is dated 1972 and we acquired it in 1977. Its medium is block-printed on paper. It is a part of the Wallcoverings department.
Morris believed that a garden should be both “orderly and rich.” This duality governed the Marigold pattern as leafy vine-like stems of floppy marigolds interlock and climb over a blanket of leaves and blossoms. Morris tamed these dense naturalistic elements into an orderly arrangement. The pattern used a dotted background, a decorative effect also employed by his daughter May in her wallpaper designs, to add a density to the imagery.
