Snakeshead Gold/Linen
Morris 160th Anniversary Wallpaper WallpaperMOW0067-05
The Snakeshead pattern appears here as a warm, softly aged gold tracery over a pale linen-coloured ground. Dense scrolling foliage, pointed leaves and small floral details create a closely filled, symmetrical surface.

About this fabric
This wallpaper is supplied at 68.6 cm usable width in a standard 10.05 m length, with a 34.3 cm vertical pattern repeat and a listed 0 cm horizontal repeat. At 153 gsm, the design presents a fine, even surface carrying the intricate Morris botanical arrangement. The gold is muted rather than bright, with pale cream-linen highlights that soften the scrolling leaves, flowers and central pointed forms. Its close, balanced repeat gives the colourway a formal, heritage-led presence without the sharper contrast of a darker ground.
How to use it
Use this warm gold-and-linen colourway across a dining room, hallway or sitting room where its dense botanical detail can read as an all-over decorative backdrop. Pick up the aged gold in timber, brass or ochre accents, while pale upholstery will echo the light ground.
The warm gold and pale linen palette brings a softly aged, richly ornamental character to period and contemporary interiors.

Pairs well with
A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Snakeshead Gold/Linen without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it
Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
