{"product_id":"william-morriss-flowers-rowan-bain-9780500480458","title":"William Morris's Flowers","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe leading figure of the Arts and Crafts Movement, William Morris (1834-1896) is one of the best-known and most popular of all British designers. A passionate advocate of craftsmanship over mass production, he designed a huge variety of objects, but it is his spectacular carpet, fabric, and wallpaper patterns that have continued to capture the popular imagination and influence interior designers and the decorative arts. Around six hundred such designs are attributed to Morris, most of which are based on nature, including trees, plants, and flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully designed, accessibly priced gift book offers a wealth of designs by Morris where flowers are the principal motif. The text traces the origins of Morris's flower-based designs: his own gardens at the Red House in Kent; sixteenth- and seventeenth-century herbals; illuminated medieval manuscripts; late medieval and Renaissance tapestries; and the range of decorated objects, particularly from the Islamic world, that Morris studied at the South Kensington Museum, now the Victoria and Albert Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthored by Rowan Bain, senior curator at the William Morris Gallery, and lavishly illustrated with over one hundred color illustrations, \u003cem\u003eWilliam Morris's Flowers\u003c\/em\u003e will both inform and delight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowan Bain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0500480451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500480458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 6.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2019 pg. 71","brand":"Rowan Bain","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44044862292223,"sku":"9780500480458","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b6c5f7f3-8d81-4d6a-bfd5-2ec8d245f780.jpg?v=1684975339","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/william-morriss-flowers-rowan-bain-9780500480458","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
