*Morris (William). A large piece of 'Bird' fabric, Morris & Co., circa 1870s-1880s, Jacquard-woven woollen double cloth, with horizontal banded pattern of two pairs of mirrored birds with stylised floral and foliate motifs, in dark and light blue, green, orange, red, and pale yellow, a number of small and some larger holes, length 269cm (106ins), width between selvedges 133cm (52.25ins) Morris designed this pattern for the walls of the drawing room at his London family home, Kelmscott House, in Hammersmith, registering the design in 1878. It continued to be made after Morris & Company established textile production at Merton Abbey in 1881, and it was produced in three colourways. Morris himself referred to this type of fabric as "woven wool tapestry"; though technically not a tapestry weave, the effect of this heavy wool fabric when used as a wall covering would have been akin to that of a tapestry.
