Our stunning new William Morris Collection was recently shortlisted in The Giftware Association’s Gift of the Year 2016 Awards for the ‘Made in UK’ category. Morris’s political activities began when he joined the Social Democratic Federation at its inaugural meeting in June 1881. However, the organisation soon became factionalised and Morris broke from the Social Democratic Federation in 1884, disagreeing with its leadership. Morris established his own political group, the Socialist League, a more radical collective that sought a revolutionary overturn by the mobilised working classes. Strawberry Thief’, ‘Snakeshead’, ‘Lodden’ and ‘Golden Lilly’ are four classic William Morris designs that make a highly desirable gift for dog owners. As William Morris said ….. Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. And of course, that includes our dogs!

The design owes much to Burne-Jones's study of the Parthenon frieze in the British Museum. He copied the Parthenon frieze in 1864 in a sketchbook held currently in the V&A. A further drawing at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery depicts the figure on the right, sitting upright, close to the figure of Ares in the group of seated deities, taken from the figures in the Parthenon frieze. Initially commissioned at the request of the William Morris Gallery, and now available through gift retailers, our beautiful new collection gives dogs a contemporary flair to be envious of.

The design was inspired by the rose trellises in Morris’s garden at Red House, the home designed for him and his wife Jane by Philip Webb. Webb collaborated with Morris on this wallpaper design, supplying the birds which add a sense of movement to the composition. This early work reveals Morris’s interest in flat, abstracted patterns, which he layered to create depth.

And who doesn’t like strawberries! This cheery red dog collar is also lined with lux teal velvet for a comfy walkies. As always, an exclusive Scrufts heart shaped tag is the final hurrah !The Lament’ is considered to be Edward Burne-Jones most significant painting in the classical style of the late 1860s. Burne-Jones was a life-long friend of William Morris after the two met at Oxford University, he was a founding partner of Morris & Co. as well as an established painter working in the pre-Raphaelite style. Key stylistic features of this work can be seen in the chalky colours, simple outlines, and low relief of the figures. The work is washed in a mood of restrained sadness, characteristic of other paintings in 1866. I’m constantly coming up with new ideas and designs to keep your furry friend looking gorgeous. When I get a chance I like to keep you up to date with a blog post. You can read the blog posts Here During the rallies Morris and his comrades attended, they carried banners to identify their political allegiance. In this banner, the image of Adam and Eve has been borrowed from Burne-Jones’s illustration to Morris’s socialist novel ‘A Dream of John Ball’. The novel followed the story of a priest who was one of the leaders of the Peasants’ Revolt in 1381. John Ball believed all people were created equal, asking "When Adam delved and Eve span, who was then the gentleman?"
