William Morris designed this wallpaper around 1877. As the name suggests the square repeating pattern was intended for the ceiling. The repeat is 52.7 x 53.3.
This version was printed in 1968, using original Morris & Co. blocks by the firm Arthur Sanderson & Sons Ltd., who acquired the blocks from Morris & Co. when they closed in 1940. The right margin is printed with half the diamond-shaped English Registry mark and MORRIS & Co. The reverse has the Sanderson colourway number ‘Ceiling 138610’ and the price 142 shillings per roll.
