Description
Morris & Co Monkshood Wallpaper 217345 Tangerine Sage is a striking botanical design created by Alan Francis Vigers in 1901. The pattern features tall, elegant stems of monkshood flowers rising vertically across the surface, creating a rhythmic and structured composition that brings both movement and form to interior walls.
Despite its cheerful and lively appearance, the monkshood plant carries a fascinating historical narrative. Named for the hood-like shape of its flowers, it is also known as wolfsbane, a plant historically used as a poison in Classical times. This contrast between beauty and hidden danger adds depth and intrigue to the design, a characteristic often found in Arts and Crafts patterns.
The wallpaper showcases slender green stems and distinctive bell-shaped flowers set against a subtly patterned background, creating layers of visual interest while maintaining a balanced and decorative feel. The vertical flow of the design makes it particularly effective for adding height and structure to a space.
The Tangerine Sage colourway pairs warm tangerine orange tones with fresh sage green, producing a vibrant yet harmonious palette. The combination brings warmth, energy and a natural botanical freshness to interiors while highlighting the elegant floral forms.
Perfect for living rooms, dining rooms, hallways or feature walls, Morris & Co Monkshood wallpaper introduces heritage design with a bold and distinctive botanical character.
