William Morris Compton Oblong Silk Scarf*The Met Store Online

An art scarf inspired by The Met collection.

William Morris (British, 1834–1896) was one of the most influential figures of the British Victorian era. He derived profound inspiration from the natural world, with many of his lavish botanical textile and wallpaper patterns inspired by indigenous English flora. This lush silk scarf is based on Compton (1896), a beautiful wallpaper design created by John Henry Dearle (British, 1859–1932), Morris’s chief designer.
