Kelmscott House, London.
William Morris leased Kelmscott House in April 1878. The house had originally been called The Retreat. Morris named Kelmscott House after Kelmscott Manor (his 17th century country house in Lechlede, Gloucestershire). Kelmscott House directly overlooks the river Thames, something which pleased Morris.
Morris began his experiments with weaving soon after moving in and set up a tapestry loom in his ground floor bedroom and carpet looms in the coach house.The small rugs and carpets produced at this time were called Hammersmith rugs and bear the woven device of a hammer in the border.
When, in 1881, Morris set up his new works at Merton Abbey he moved the carpet looms there.

We couldn’t resist another pic of our bonfire night set up! 🫶🏻 our PVC fabric is such a popular option for the table as it’s wipe clean, so any spills can just be quickly fixed 🫧 We wouldn’t reccomend lighting sparklers in the house or over your tablecloth though! 🙃

A pvc tablecloth is fantastic as it simply wipes clean which often makes it our top pick for meal times, they come in many Morris designs and are sold by the half metre to fit every table, it won’t fray so doesn’t need a hem 👻 keep watching to see who our tea guest was 😉
