(101.6 x 57.15 cm), Silk, metallic threads; lampas weave with discontinuous supplementary weft patterning, Spain, 17th-18th century, In an effort to prevent French producers from taking over the luxury textile market, Italian weavers, who had dominated the trade in Europe for several centuries, created a bold new style which later historians dubbed Bizarre due to their strange and exotic patterns. During the 1690s, several European weaving centers quickly began producing these popular new patterns, but by 1700 French designers and weavers reached a degree of sophistication which has enabled them to dominate the luxury cloth trade for more than two hundred years.

Bird. Culture: British, Merton Abbey, Surrey. Designer: Designed by William Morris (British, Walthamstow, London 1834-1896 Hammersmith, London). Dimensions: L. 88 1/4 x W. 49 7/8 inches (224.2 x 126.7 cm). Manufactory: Morris & Company. Date: designed 1878.This pattern was registered in 1878; Morris designed it for the walls of the drawing room of his family home, Kelmscott House, in the Hammersmith area of London, which they occupied from 1878 until his death in 1896. It continued to be made after Morris & Company established textile production at Merton Abbey in 1881, and it was produced in three colorways. Morris himself referred to this type of fabric as "woven wool tapestry," though it is not technically a tapestry weave but a doublecloth. The effect of this heavy wool fabric when used as a wall covering, as it was at Kelmscott House, is a fine example of Morris' interpretation of the decorative arts of that era.
