A richly atmospheric William Morris fabric in deep wine tones, chosen for the warmest corner of The Reading Room and paired with dark damson cottons, satin accents and deeper house fabrics.
William Morris Mallow Wine is a beautifully layered Arts & Crafts fabric with a rich, enveloping warmth.
First printed in 1879, Mallow is a licensed William Morris design with a soft botanical rhythm and an unmistakable heritage character. In this Wine colourway, the design feels especially suited to The Reading Chair: deep, decorative and quietly dramatic.
Its trailing floral pattern brings depth and movement, while the darker tones make it ideal for cushions, lampshades and considered interiors pieces that add warmth without feeling heavy.
Historically, Mallow has a particularly evocative connection to Standen, the Arts & Crafts home where the design once hung in the Croxley bedroom. Standen has also noted that a patch of the wallpaper was uncovered on the back stairs, suggesting it once decorated another part of the house too.
That sense of rediscovery feels entirely at home within Berry & Grouse: a fabric with story, atmosphere and a place in the room.
For The Reading Room, we have paired Mallow Wine with dark damson cottons, satin accents and deeper house fabrics, creating a curated edit of pieces that feel rich, intimate and quietly collected.
Handmade to order in Lincolnshire, each pair is finished with a smooth matt white lining and a white candle clip fitting designed to clip directly onto candle-shaped bulbs.
