William Morris designed Bruges wallpaper between 1887-1888, and it was published from 1888 onwards. The large diagonal pattern consists of decorative ribbons intertwined with large flowers and foliage. The size of the repeat is 61cm.

This version was printed in 1950, using original Morris & Co. blocks by the firm Arthur Sanderson & Sons Ltd., who acquired the blocks from Morris & Co. when they closed in 1940. A printed label on the reverse gives the Sanderson colourway number ‘243 Bruges’.
