Pomegranate Tie

This Fox & Chave silk tie features the Bird & Pomengrante textile design by William Morris. Designed in 1878 for Morris & Co as a furnishing textile and wallpaper pattern, the design was reproduced by the company in 1892 and in 1926 in different colourways. 

In addition to being a prolific designer and social activist, Morris was deeply interested in medieval literature, particularly Norse mythology and Icelandic sagas. He even taught himself Old Norse to read these texts in their original language, demonstrating his wide-ranging intellectual curiosity beyond his well-known pursuits in art and politics. 

The William Morris Gallery holds original textile and wallpaper examples of the Bird & Pomengrante design within it's archives in William Morris's Childhood home in Walthamstow.
