(18,167 posts)so I've seen pictures of a lot of his work and the other PRB artists. I recognized the style, especially the use of the leaves. That was the first thing that hinted at Morris.
Funny story -- a gazillion years go, 20 or more, was watching an episode of "This Old House" on PBS. They were remodeling/restoring a Victorian home in Boston, I think. One of the finishing touches was the carpeting, and as soon as they showed the design, I said, "Oh, that looks like a Morris design. Perfect for that era house." My husband looked at me and said, "What are you talking about?" Before I could explain, the hosts of the show (I think Bob Vila was still doing it, that's how long ago it was!) went into the history of William Morris's designs for fabrics, wallpapers, and carpet. Score one for me!
I still think#6 is Tiffany.
