William Morris Pimpernel Green is an olive green large-scale floral wallpaper. Broad ivory flower heads open across a sage and olive field, with amber berries and small tulip forms threaded through curling dark green stems. The pale blooms fall in a clear diagonal, giving a big pattern enough order to sit above a dado without crowding it. Handsome in a panelled hallway, a drawing room or a period landing.

About this pattern

In 1876 William Morris registered Pimpernel as a wallpaper, block-printed by hand in distemper colors from carved woodblocks. It followed Acanthus, which a year earlier had started his series of large, deeply colored papers. At Kelmscott House, his London home, Pimpernel lined the dining room. The V&A holds a specimen from his first pattern book (E.499-1919).

The green colorway opens broad ivory flower heads across a field of sage and olive, with amber berries and small tulip shapes caught in curling dark green stems. The pale blooms fall along a clear diagonal, which gives this big pattern enough order to sit comfortably above a chair rail. In a paneled hallway it rewards the painted woodwork below. It also holds its own in a drawing room with high ceilings, or on a period landing where the large repeat has space to unfold.
