William Morris Persian Red is a red and navy ogee floral wallpaper. Scarlet tulip heads and red-tipped pomegranates repeat in mirrored columns among sage and forest green leafwork, with butter-yellow daisies and ochre buds on deep navy. The red picks out the pattern's spine so clearly that it reads as bands of colour before the flowers register. Made for a study, a stair hall or a Victorian front room.

About this pattern

John Henry Dearle designed Persian. He had trained under William Morris and was Morris's chief designer by 1890, and from that decade on he drew on Persian and Turkish sources. You can see it in the mirrored ogee, the tulips, the pomegranates and the stacked flower heads. As the V&A notes, much of Dearle's work was credited to Morris. The V&A keeps a specimen from a period pattern book (E.2838-1980).

In red, scarlet tulip heads and red-tipped pomegranates climb the mirrored columns through sage and forest-green leaves, with butter-yellow daisies and ochre buds on deep navy. The red traces the spine of each column so strongly that you see stripes of color first and flowers second. That structure suits a stair hall, where the verticals follow you up. It also gives a study a library feel, and in a Victorian front room it sits easily with dark wood and brass.
