A throw that carries the weight of history and the warmth of home.
Woven from pure cotton on a traditional Jacquard loom, this tapestry blanket brings William Morris's 1870 Strawberry Thief design to life in rich, earthy red tones. Every thread tells a story of thrushes stealing fruit in a quiet English garden — a scene Morris witnessed at his own Kelmscott Manor.
This isn't just decoration. It's a piece that transforms a room, drapes beautifully over a sofa or armchair, and becomes part of your home's story. The kind of textile you reach for on cold evenings, pass down through generations, and never tire of looking at.
Product Story
∨
In 1870, William Morris watched thrushes stealing strawberries from his kitchen garden at Kelmscott Manor. That moment became one of the most beloved textile designs in British history.
This tapestry throw recreates that scene using a modern Jacquard loom with exceptionally fine detail to the weave. Every thread is 100% cotton, woven to last generations, not seasons.
The intricate pattern isn't printed—it's woven into the fabric itself, just as Morris intended during the Arts and Crafts movement. It's a piece of heritage you can wrap yourself in, use outdoors, or display as wall art.
