C.F.A. Voysey, one of the foremost Arts & Crafts designers and architects of his generation, blends his architectural and decorative training in this, The Savaric. Featuring flocks of birds gracing branches below the high canopy of trees, The Savaric, originally a wallpaper design from 1896, bears the unmistakable signature bird motif indicative of Voysey's style. In Garden Green and Cirrus, we've retained the authentic Arts & Crafts colour stories.
Available in two colourways: Garden Green, Cirrus

As a political theorist, publisher, environmental campaigner, poet, as well as an outstanding designer, William Morris (1834–1896) was one of the single most influential figures of the nineteenth century. Under his direction Morris & Co. grew to the status of Arts & Crafts icon that it remains to this day.
Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. (1861–1875) was a furnishings and decorative arts manufacturer and retailer founded by the artist and designer William Morris with friends from the Pre-Raphaelites. With its successor Morris & Co. (1875–1940) the firm's medieval-inspired aesthetic and respect for hand-craftsmanship and traditional textile arts had a profound influence on the decoration of churches and houses into the early 20th century.
Although its most influential period was during the flourishing of the Arts and Crafts Movement in the 1880s and 1890s, Morris & Co. remained in operation in a limited fashion from World War I until its closure in 1940. The firm's designs are still sold today under licences given to Sanderson & Sons.
