A print of “Strawberry Thief” by William Morris on your wall
A navy background, red strawberries, yellow flowers and birds caught in the act - Strawberry Thief is one of the best-loved motifs in English design. William Morris designed it with humour and precision, and the symmetry of the pattern means it looks great both in a square format and as a vertical panel. A Strawberry Thief print brings warmth and a touch of vintage into a room: we recommend it for a dining room, a kitchen with wooden fronts, an English-style bedroom and a child's room. On 5 mm acrylic glass the deep indigo gleams like lacquer; on Dibond it keeps its refined, textile character. Wallpaper with this pattern turns a wall into a garden full of life.

Strawberry Thief
About the artwork
Strawberry Thief is a textile pattern designed by William Morris in 1883, showing thrushes stealing fruit among flowers and leaves. The motif was born from watching the birds in the garden of Morris's house at Kelmscott. The fabric was hand-printed from wooden blocks using the indigo discharge method - a laborious technique that the designer brought back to life. The symmetrical, rich composition is among the best-known works of the Arts and Crafts movement and is held in the collection of the Cooper Hewitt in New York.
