One of William Morris’s most recognisable designs, Strawberry Thief, was inspired by the thrushes that would sneak under the strawberry nets in his garden at Kelmscott Manor in Oxfordshire. The original pattern, created in 1883, took several days to print, using hand-carved woodblocks to layer the various colours. As a result, Strawberry Thief became one of the most expensive fabrics produced by Morris & Co. Morris spent sleepless nights at Merton Abbey awaiting the first printed piece. Today, Strawberry Thief remains one of Morris’s most iconic and beloved designs.The Strawberry Thief mural brings a touch of nature indoors, highlighting the subtle off-white accents in its bird and floral motifs. It is printed on a matte finish substrate, offering a sleek and sophisticated aesthetic.
