The 'Morris Monkshood' Cobalt Drum

Our custom-made William Morris 'Monkshood' shade. 100% cotton, in Morris & Co. Cobalt & Goblin Green colourway, with a silver lining.

'Alan Francis Vigers's upbeat jolly 1901 design has a somewhat sinister undertone. So named because its head resembles the rounded shape of a monk's habit this plant is also referred to as wolfsbane recalling its use as a toxic poison used to coat arrows fired at marauding wolves in Classical times. This plant as treacherous as it is beautiful is charmingly rendered by Vigers with innocuous innocence.'
