An Iconic William Morris Pattern
Originally designed in 1883, Strawberry Thief is one of William Morris’s most celebrated textile patterns. The design was inspired by thrushes stealing strawberries from the garden at Morris’s home, Kelmscott Manor.
The composition intertwines birds, trailing foliage, and ripe strawberries in a beautifully balanced repeat, capturing the natural storytelling that defined Morris’s approach to design.
The Woad colourway introduces deeper blues and richer tones, giving the pattern a slightly more dramatic and traditional character while still feeling elegant and timeless.
Each lampshade is handmade to order in the UK, ensuring a precise, carefully finished piece that preserves the detail and rhythm of the original pattern.
