Vintage Strawberry Thief Print by William Morris, 1883

Product details

Strawberry Thief by William Morris

Bring a connection to garden imagery and historical decorative design into your home with this reproduction of William Morris’s Strawberry Thief. Dated 1883 in the listing, the textile design offers a meeting point between botanical subjects, bird artwork and the Arts and Crafts tradition. Choose the square paper print for a living room, garden room or collection devoted to Morris designs.

From textile design to wall art

This product reproduces a historical textile design on paper. It is not a length of printed fabric, a woven tapestry, wallpaper or an original Victorian textile. Its garden and bird associations make it a thoughtful companion to other decorative studies, while the square format gives you a consistent shape across the three available sizes. Enjoy it as a modern reproduction for wall display rather than an antique object or a hand-worked piece.

A nature-inspired living space

Imagine placing the print above a sideboard or beside a favourite chair, with warm wooden furniture, softly textured cushions and books about gardens or design nearby. Its botanical connection can make the room feel personal without requiring every accessory to follow the same pattern. The recorded navy, beige and red palette provides a starting point for coordinating companion artworks and smaller decorative accents.

A small format can join an established gallery, while the large option gives the design a more prominent square feature. Pair it with other Morris prints for an artist-led arrangement, or introduce contrasting bird and flower studies to explore different approaches to natural subjects. Matching frames can bring individual works together while allowing their differences to remain part of the appeal. Consider the available wall area, the proportions of nearby furniture and the usual viewing distance when choosing your size.

Paper and printing

This reproduction is produced using giclée printing on 200gsm matte art paper. The contemporary printing method and paper surface are distinct from the textile materials of the source design. Choose a print-only version if you would like to use your own frame, or select a framed paper print with a black frame and white mount. Each of the three square sizes is available in both options.
