These designs were inspired by a panel decorated with cherries in the Green Dining Room at the Victoria and Albert Museum, designed by the firm Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Co. in 1886. William Morris was a major influence on the Arts and Crafts Movement, which adopted many of his ideals on the value of hand craftsmanship and the maintaining of truth and honesty in the materials of production. Licensed by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, England. Available in hand patinaed bronze with hand formed glass beads.
