Spring Flowers Juniper

Standen House in West Sussex is one of the country’s finest examples of an Arts & Crafts house, designed by Philip Webb with interiors by William Morris. This small floral design, featuring an array of spring flowers, is typical of the way designers of the period were inspired by flowers and foliage and how they stylised these forms to bring nature inside. The surviving piece of this paper is in a monochromatic colourway of blue and white, but otherwise little is known about the history of this specific design. Now coloured in six differing ways, it is offered in two gentle neutrals and on four stronger grounds.
