Honeysuckle

Poster featuring Honeysuckle by William Morris, a botanical pattern from the 1870s that was registered in 1876. The flowers and leaves of the honeysuckle are built up in a mirrored, rhythmic structure that gives the motif a calm yet richly decorative expression.William Morris (1834–1896) was one of the most influential designers of the Arts and Crafts movement. He combined close observations of nature with knowledge of older textiles, wallpapers, and ornament, and his aim was to make art and beauty part of everyday life. Honeysuckle is a clear example of how a real plant can be transformed into a repeating pattern without losing its organic feel. This makes the design easy to style with: it is historic but not museum-like, richly detailed yet at the same time cohesive and harmonious.Artist: William Morris (1834–1896) | Created: 1876.Frame not included.Please note that the images are cropped slightly differently depending on the size you choose.
