Pimpernel rug, aubergine
Description
The Pimpernel rug by Morris & Co. features flowers growing, twisting and flourishing with wild elegance. William Morris originally drew inspiration for this captivating pattern from the tulips and vines that grew in the dining room of his countryside home in England. Now, the same floral motif comes to life on the surface of a beautifully crafted wool rug.
Originally made famous as wallpaper designs, Morris & Co.’s beloved patterns now delight in the form of soft and luxurious rugs that are perfect for adding character and telling stories in any room.

The Englishman William Morris (1834–1896) was a true polymath whose talents spanned many areas of art and culture. He is known as a textile designer, poet, artist and thinker, and was also a key figure in the Arts and Crafts movement. Morris’s designs for wallpapers, textiles, furniture and stained glass transformed Victorian interior design, and the company he founded, Morris & Co., remains a crucial part of design history to this day.
Morris’s worldview was shaped by medieval art, romantic poetry and later, socialist ideals. His body of work spans fantasy literature, political essays and English translations of Icelandic sagas. Today, he is recognised as one of the most influential cultural figures of Victorian Britain with a legacy that continues to inspire art, literature and interior design.
