Peacock and Dragon

William Morris

Design 1878
Collection
Art Institute of Chicago
Medium
Wool, three-colored complementary weft, weft-float faced 3:1 twill weave; lined with linen, plain weave; two panels pieced

A woollen fabric designed by Morris in 1878: peacocks and dragons face each other in a mirrored repeat. Inspired by medieval Italian and Middle Eastern textiles, it hung on the drawing-room walls of Morris's own Kelmscott House. Because the pattern mirrors, watch left and right carefully.
