William Morris, born in England in 1834, emerged as a leading figure in the British Arts and Crafts Movement. As an accomplished writer, textile designer, and social commentator, he founded a design firm alongside the artist Edward Burne-Jones and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti, profoundly influencing the decoration of churches and homes well into the 20th century. Morris revitalized traditional textile arts and production methods while helping establish the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings in the U.K. Though Morris held Persian carpets in the highest regard, he embraced the coarser Turkish (Ghiordes) knot for his hand-knotted carpets, woven at a density of 25 knots per square inch. His designs incorporate many motifs he created specifically for carpets, showcasing the later, more formal elements characteristic of Henry Dearle’s work
