Jacquard Weave Merino Wool Throw

In 1883, William Morris watched thrushes raiding the strawberry beds at his beloved Kelmscott Manor — and turned the small act of garden thievery into one of the most celebrated textile designs in history. Strawberry Thief remains, over a century later, an enduring symbol of the English Arts and Crafts movement: birds caught mid-flight, wings full, weaving through trellises heavy with fruit and blossom.
