Both Arthur Sanderson and William Morris established their companies in London at approximately the same time -
Sanderson in 1860 and Morris in 1861 - the association between the two firms became even more closely
allied during the 1920's, when Sanderson began printing wallpapers for Morris & Co.
Sanderson purchased Morris & Co. including the showroom contents,
the entire collection of wallpaper printing blocks, stock and complete colour records,
including both unique logbooks and hundreds of 'matchpieces' (print templates) in 1927.
At this time Sanderson also acquired a composite collection of Morris printed fabrics.
This important collection is contained within the Sanderson archive and the printing blocks are still used today.
William Morris Wallpapers are subject to a one off carriage charge any quantity.
