Hand-Knotted William Morris Carpet 2020s 330 x 289cm (10.8′ x 9.5′)

This hand-knotted carpet is a refined homage to the enduring legacy of William Morris, one of the most influential figures of the British Arts and Crafts movement. Woven with care and restraint, it captures the spirit of Morris’s belief in beauty, craftsmanship, and honest materials. The design features an all-over floral composition set on a deep blue ground, balanced by soft cream and red detailing. The pattern reflects Morris’s later, more structured designs, where nature is stylised yet harmonious, creating rhythm without excess. A carefully drawn floral border frames the field, giving the piece a composed and architectural presence. Hand-knotted using traditional techniques and high-quality wool, the carpet is dyed with natural pigments that lend depth, warmth, and subtle variation to the colours. Unlike many decorative reproductions, this piece is made with durability and longevity in mind, resulting in a rug that feels substantial underfoot and ages gracefully over time. Its generous and slightly squarish proportions make it ideal for anchoring a dining room or living space, where it can be appreciated both as a functional rug and as a work of decorative art. Calm, confident, and thoughtfully made, this is a modern heirloom inspired by one of Britain’s greatest design traditions.
