Acanthus Wallpaper – Green

Description

Acanthus Wallpaper – Green

Acanthus leaves decorate many of Morriss designs and are made a central feature in his Acanthus pattern for wallpaper. First used in Ancient Greek friezes and on the capitals of Corinthian columns, these swirling, curling leaves have decorated walls and buildings ever since. Morris found this classical motif ideal for repeating patterns and believed the large pattern he created here was perfect for smaller rooms, creating a more restful atmosphere than a smaller, dense pattern.
