William Morris designed the woodpecker cartoons that were woven in 1885, creating a motif set against densely packed vegetation that evokes the broad-leafed verdure of Renaissance tapestries with practically non-existent perspective effects. The importance of this botanical background recalls the large flowering plants and flourishing foliage of early 16th-century Brussels verdures that influenced Morris's aesthetic philosophy. This jacquard interpretation includes two parchment elements that complement the central avian motif, demonstrating Morris's integration of natural observation with decorative tradition. Available in two portrait formats - 100 x 50 cm and 154 x 75 cm - the piece showcases Morris's revolutionary approach to textile design that merged medieval craftsmanship with Victorian innovation. Woven from 72% cotton, 25% viscose, and 3% polyester with cotton lining, this blue colorway emphasizes the naturalistic elements that made Morris's work central to the Arts and Crafts movement, appealing to design history enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate how traditional motifs were revitalized through 19th-century artistic vision.
