Hand-Knotted William Morris Carpet 330x289cm

This exceptional hand-knotted carpet pays tribute to William Morris, one of the most influential designers of the British Arts and Crafts movement. Crafted with deep reverence for Morris’s original work, this piece stands apart for its superior craftsmanship, use of natural dyes, and an elegantly balanced design that echoes the timeless ideals of beauty and utility.

Set against a striking shade of blue, the rug’s all-over floral design reflects the formal motifs Morris developed later in his career, many of which were further refined by his collaborator Henry Dearle. The central field is framed by a rich floral border, creating a harmonious composition that speaks to the intricacies of traditional textile artistry and historical revivalism.

Unlike many modern reproductions, this carpet was created with genuine hand-knotting techniques, closely studying Morris’s preference for the Turkish (Ghiordes) knot, woven here at a density of approximately 25 knots per square inch—true to the production values of the late 19th century. The high-quality wool and natural dyes ensure not only a vibrant appearance but also longevity, turning this into a true heirloom piece.

Its unique squarish size adds to its rarity, making it ideal for rooms that call for a strong visual anchor with artistic heritage.
