William Morris Strawberry Thief Chocolate & Slate Classic Framed Vintage Wallpaper

A richly atmospheric Strawberry Thief design in chocolate brown and slate, presented in a classic new brown wood frame with a crisp white mount.

Strawberry Thief is one of those Morris designs that rewards a closer look. The familiar birds sit amongst strawberries, foliage and curling stems, creating a wonderfully layered composition full of movement and detail.

The original vintage Morris & Co. wallpaper sample has been preserved beneath glass, retaining the character and fine detail of the historic material. Rather than a reproduction, it offers a genuine fragment of decorative design history, thoughtfully presented as a distinctive piece for the home.

Designed in 1883, Strawberry Thief was inspired by the thrushes that Morris watched stealing fruit from his garden at Kelmscott Manor. That connection to everyday nature gives the pattern a sense of storytelling, while its intricate arrangement has made it one of Morris’s most enduring designs.

This chocolate and slate colourway brings a deeper, more understated mood to the pattern. The rich earthy tones work particularly well with dark woods, leather, warm neutrals and antique furnishings, making it a natural choice for studies, libraries, living spaces and layered heritage interiors.

The classic brown wood frame and crisp white mount provide a clean finish, allowing the intricate original sample to remain the focus.

A timeless Morris favourite with rich colour, intricate detail and a story woven into its design.
