William Morris Snakeshead Fringed Lampshade | Tinker & Tallulah

First designed by William Morris in 1876, the Snakeshead pattern remains one of his most celebrated works - a captivating tribute to the Indian textiles that inspired it. The design showcases the flame-like blooms and elegant foliage of the Snake’s Head Fritillary plant, creating a timeless and richly decorative effect.

Handcrafted with care, this fringed lampshade brings historic artistry into modern interiors, adding depth, texture, and an unmistakable sense of heritage. Whether styled as a ceiling pendant or paired with a table or floor lamp, it makes a refined statement that honours the enduring beauty of Morris & Co design.
