Organization
Biography
Morris & Co. is a decorating company started by William Morris and his friends in 1861. Originally named Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co., they provided beautiful, handcrafted products and furnishings for the home and aimed to be affordable and accessible to all. They became most well-known for their wallpaper and fabric designs, and after 150 years of business became simply known as Morris & Co. Following World War One and World War Two, Morris & Co. went into voluntary liquidation in 1940. They were eventually bought by another home furnishings company, Arthur Sanderson & Sons, that same year where they presently remain.
