William Morris in Adelaide
Explore the wonderful hand-made textiles, stained-glass furnishings and
interior design of William Morris, who made a major impact on the Adelaide
society of the late 19th century.
One of the great dynamos of English interior design, William Morris –
designer, poet, mediævalist and socialist – revitalised decorative art with
his Arts and Crafts Movement, which swept across the British Empire and
found its home-away-from-home in the growing city of Adelaide.
In Adelaide, Australia’s wealthiest family, the Barr Smiths, became Morris’s
largest international client, furnishing seven homes with his works. On this tour,
