Drape yourself in timeless elegance with this luxurious 100% silk scarf, featuring May Morris' exquisite Study of an Oriental poppy design. Each delicate bloom repeats across the fabric in a graceful pattern inspired by her celebrated botanical study. The soft, fluid silk drapes beautifully and feels sumptuous against the skin. A sophisticated accessory for those who appreciate fine art and quality craftsmanship.
May Morris (1862–1938) is recognised today as a pioneer of the Arts and Crafts movement, a leading exponent of decorative needlework and a campaigner for women artists. Despite being one of the foremost practitioners of her generation, it was design that May described as ‘the very soul and essence of beautiful embroidery’. One of the largest collections of May’s designs, from roughly sketched ideas to finished patterns, is held by the Ashmolean Museum.
Manufacturer recommends dry clean only to ensure best quality and longevity.
