William Morris Vintage Peacock & Dragon Wallpaper

This is a digitally enhanced version of William Morris' 1878 design “Peacock and Dragon”. "Peacock and Dragon" is one of William Morris' most iconic and intricate textile designs, featuring a rich, mythical narrative in the form of stylised peacocks and a majestic dragon. The design is heavily influenced by mediaeval and Asian art, blending vibrant, deep colours and organic forms with a sense of fantasy. The peacock, with its majestic plume, is often depicted in full display, while the dragon weaves through the pattern in an elegant, serpentine form. Morris' use of rich reds, greens, and blues adds to the luxurious and timeless feel of the design. The balance between bold, dramatic elements and intricate detailing showcases his mastery of pattern-making and his commitment to craftsmanship.
