William Morris Corncockle Cream Blue and Rose Large Clock

I love the Arts Nouveau textile patterns, particularly ones designed by William Morris. This is a reproduction of a design that was created in the 1800s and then woven and printed as a design in the 1900s at Merton Abbey Works. The corncockle or corn cockle is a friendly name for the agrostemma flower, whose silky, delicate blooms float upon willowy grey stems. This lovely flower is artfully and stylistically captured in this amazing taupe, pale blue, and dusty rose pattern.
