Notes | William Morris's flowing, naturalistic designs are named after the plants and flowers from which they derive. 'Sakeshead' also draws upon the colouring and patterning of Indian textiles. The pattern was manufactured for Morris & Co by Thomas Wardle in Leek. Another furnishing sample is in the Victoria and Albert Museum. | | Purchased from Morris & Co through the Friends of Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery, 1940 |
