About the Artist
William Morris was a central figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, advocating for a return to traditional craftsmanship and the integration of art into everyday life. His work across textiles, wallpaper, and design helped redefine Victorian interiors, emphasizing the value of beauty and thoughtful design in domestic spaces.
This vintage poster reproduction is part of our William Morris collection, where the harmony of pattern and nature is celebrated.
The Artwork
Created in 1872, Jasmine emerged during a period when designers like Morris sought inspiration from the natural world and historical motifs as a response to the industrial age. The pattern transforms the delicate jasmine plant into a continuous, immersive design intended to enrich daily living and bring the tranquility of nature indoors.
Jasmine, with its associations of gentle fragrance and domestic serenity, resonated with Victorian ideals of the home as a peaceful retreat. Today, this design continues to offer a sense of calm and decorative richness within contemporary interiors.
Style & Characteristics
The artwork features a repeating network of climbing jasmine vines, interlacing across the surface in a seamless pattern. The composition is dense and rhythmic, with small white blossoms and abundant green leaves creating a balanced, flowing field without a single focal point.
The color palette is dominated by layered greens, accented by touches of warm orange and soft cream highlights in the flowers. This subtle combination lends depth and a gentle vintage atmosphere, making it ideal for admirers of botanical wall art and Arts and Crafts design.
