Roman Blind in Cornflower Embroidery Fabric by Morris & Co Product Ref: 237707

A design by the artistic hands of John Henry Dearle, Cornflower is a bold composition in his signature vine-like style. Honouring the original archive document, the central floral motifs have been preserved, while the repeat has been thoughtfully reimagined to flow as a full-coverage embroidery. The jacquard ground, detailed with signature dots, echoes Dearle’s distinctive decorative language, resonating strongly with the Morris & Co. design team. An inscription in the margin of the original archive document reads, “Will something like this do / for the suggested staircase paper / a la vine tapestry? / H.D.” A charming glimpse into the creative dialogue of the time, and a reminder of the artist-to-artist connection this collection celebrates across the centuries. A unique two-tone dyed yarn brings subtle movement and depth to the design, offering a soft, matte finish. Cornflower is a celebration of florals, featuring tulips, acanthus, daisies and, of course, the cornflower itself. Shown here in the Woad/Forest colourway.
