The Met Store William Morris Strawberry Thief Paperweight* Office

As the leading figure of the Arts and Crafts movement, designer William Morris (British, 1834–1896) believed beauty, imagination, and order were the necessary components of a strong design. Perhaps best known today for his wallpaper patterns, Morris frequently looked to the nature of the English countryside for inspiration as he created some 46 wall and ceiling paper designs.

Certain to add style and charm to any desk space, our elegant paperweight features one of the designer’s most iconic patterns, Strawberry Thief (design registered 1883, printed 1917–23).
