Morris Fabric Compton 226989
£91.50
Just like a rekindled love affair, Ben Pentreath discovered this iconic print stowed away in the Morris archive. Instantly mesmerised, he recoloured and updated Compton to include cheerful daffodil yellows and vibrant pops of indigo blue, poppy red and sunset orange. Designed by John Henry Dearle in 1895, especially for Compton Hall in Wolverhampton, the original pattern required two sets of woodblocks to print all 28 colours. Vertical Pattern Repeat 52.0 cm, straight match.
