18 inch straight empire shade in red house Borage block printed card by Morris & Co

William Morris, a close friend of master engraver Emery Walker, crafted the lively 'Borage' floral pattern in 1883, drawing inspiration from nature. Beloved by bees, this pattern is a lively, spirited floral design with multiple axes of symmetry, creating a captivating focal point in any room. We've carefully block printed 'Borage' onto lamp shades, capturing Morris' original technique's timeless charm and unique variations, as once seen in Walker's Hammersmith home—a beautiful blend of history and craftsmanship.
