William Morris Leicester Metal Bookmark

William Morris started designing wallpaper fabrics in 1862 though he did not start printing and selling them until 1864. Every design has a tribute to plants or flowers delicately woven around and in between themselves to create a unique and beautiful pattern. Morris¡¯ designs were quickly admired throughout the industry and by those who appreciate art. The ¡®Leicester¡¯ wallpaper can be credited to John Henry ¡®J.H.¡¯ ¡®Compton¡¯ Dearle, a designer who worked closely with Morris. Its calm colors and green background give Leicester a touch that can fit with any decor. Materials: Solid brass, electro-plated with gold finish, giclee print, domed Dimensions: 1 x 3.75 in.
