Collection: Brer Rabbit Collection (Grey)

Brer Rabbit Collection (Grey) by William Morris | Willy Morris Home Emporium

Thoughtfully curated William Morris–inspired pieces to build cosy, layered spaces in your home.

William Morris designed Brer Rabbit also known as Brother Rabbit in anticipation of the opening of the Merton Abbey works in 1881, though it was not registered with the Patent Office Register of Designs until 1882. The pattern was specifically intended for the indigo discharge method, which he perfected at Merton Abbey; it eventually was produced in at least four other colour ways, including the Museum's red and white example. Morris' use of the paired animals and birds among fantastic foliage in this design clearly illustrates his interest in medieval European textiles.

Brer Rabbit Collection available in Brer Rabbit (Red) and Brer Rabbit (Grey)
