First designed in 1862, this iconic botanical composition represents a watershed moment in interior design history. This particular variation showcases the pattern set against a deep, velvety charcoal-black backdrop, creating a remarkably bold, modern, and high-contrast look that makes the bright, antique colors pop with incredible intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eThe print displays an incredibly lush, densely packed repeat pattern of fruit-bearing branches winding elegantly across the canvas. Morris masterfully arranges a medieval orchard bounty, combining ripening pomegranates—some split open to reveal delicate pink and red seeds—with plump yellow lemons, fuzzy peaches, and opening blossoms. Hidden within the solid black background is a subtle, micro-fine repeating outline pattern of swirling stems and smaller leaves, adding a sophisticated layer of hidden texture to the negative space. The foliage is a symphony of natural greens, using olive, sage, and forest hues accented by dark, hand-inked leaf veins that provide remarkable clarity and structural definition against the stark background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Artist \u0026amp; Style: The Genesis of Morris \u0026amp; Co.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eDesigned shortly after the founding of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner \u0026amp; Co. in 1861, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"81\"\u003eFruit\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates William Morris’s genius for creating complex repeating patterns without forcing nature into rigid, artificial lines. Inspired by the abundance of tapestries found in medieval manor houses and the natural beauty of his own garden at the Red House in Kent, Morris rejected the fussy, realistic three-dimensional floral trends of the Victorian era. Instead, he favored a flattened perspective, crisp outlines, and honest colorways. This dark variation beautifully highlights the clean, graphic lines of his original hand-carved pearwood printing blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStyling Your Space\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThis vibrant, historically significant, and wonderfully moody botanical print makes an exquisite addition to a variety of interior settings:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Kitchen, Dining Room, or Breakfast Nook:\u003c\/b\u003e A brilliant statement piece; the rich fruit iconography naturally complements spaces centered around food, gathering, and warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLiving Rooms, Studies, \u0026amp; Bedrooms:\u003c\/b\u003e The dark charcoal background provides a striking, gallery-curated focal point when styled above a natural wood credenza, a leather sofa, or framed as a large focal piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaximalist \u0026amp; Moodier Interiors:\u003c\/b\u003e The layered, high-contrast design harmonizes beautifully with rich jewel tones, velvet textiles, rustic pottery, and brass accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePremium Craftsmanship \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMuseum-Grade Giclée:\u003c\/b\u003e We use state-of-the-art archival pigment inks to preserve the rich, solid depth of the charcoal background, the warm pinks of the split pomegranates, and the delicate background linework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArchival Fine Art Paper:\u003c\/b\u003e Printed on premium 200gsm heavy-weight, acid-free matte paper, providing a smooth, glare-free finish that accentuates the flat, ink-stamped quality characteristic of historic woodblock wallpapers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePeriod Fidelity:\u003c\/b\u003e Carefully calibrated to maintain the original lithographic color alignment, natural block-print textures, and authentic design boundary details from the 1860s master files.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFind out more about William Morris' iconic legacy here - \u003ca title=\"Find out more about William Morris\" href=\"https:\/\/thetrumpetshopvintageprints.com\/blogs\/the-trumpet-shop-blog\/william-morris-artist\"\u003eThe Radical Vision of William Morris: Artist, Activist, and Father of Modern Design\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:667\"\u003eRelated collections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Discover more William Morris prints\" href=\"https:\/\/thetrumpetshopvintageprints.com\/collections\/william-morris-prints\"\u003eWilliam Morris prints\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-sourcepos=\"21:1-21:177\"\u003eRead more \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thetrumpetshopvintageprints.com\/blogs\/the-trumpet-shop-blog\/william-morris\" title=\"Find out what made William Morris so important to design\"\u003eWhy was William Morris important to design?\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-sourcepos=\"21:1-21:164\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Trumpet Shop Vintage Prints","offers":[{"title":"11\" x 14\" print","offer_id":42604649381941,"sku":null,"price":17.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\" x 16\" print","offer_id":42604649447477,"sku":null,"price":22.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 24\" print","offer_id":42604649513013,"sku":null,"price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2726\/8368\/files\/william-morris-fruit-print-pomegranate-1862-botanical-art-main-image.jpg?v=1783853746","url":"https:\/\/thetrumpetshopvintageprints.com\/products\/william-morris-fruit-print-pomegranate-1862-botanical-art","provider":"The Trumpet Shop Vintage Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
