Morris Golden Lily Bow Tie

DESIGNER'S NOTES

A Fox & Chave silk bow tie featuring one of the most distinct and identifiable designs by John Henry Dearle on behalf of the English Arts & Crafts pioneer William Morris (1834-1896)

Designs using lilies were created as early as 1870 and produced by Morris & Co. between 1880 and 1917 as a hand-printed woodblock wallpapers. Morris may have created the broad outlines of this pattern, but the final execution is attributed to John Henry Dearle in 1899, three years after Morris died.

It is a lush, intricate floral pattern featuring intertwining lilies, daisies, and tulips set against a verdant backdrop of curling leaves and vines. The design is characterised by its vibrant colours, primarily golden yellows, deep greens, soft blues, and rich reds, evoking a sense of natural abundance.
