From Victorian Rebel to 1960s Bohemian Icon: The Origins and Evolution of Golden Lily.The Golden Lily design, often misattributed to William Morris, was created in 1899 by John Henry Dearle, then Head Designer at Morris & Co., three years after Morris’s death. Featuring swirling tendrils, acanthus leaves, and vivid lilies, it embodies the romanticized nature central to the Arts and Crafts Movement.
For decades, Dearle's contributions were overshadowed by Morris’s legacy, but recent reassessments have recognized his pivotal role in shaping the firm’s aesthetic. Golden Lily became a 1960s icon, embraced for its timeless, bohemian beauty and its connection to anti-mass consumerism ideals. It remains a testament to Dearle’s talent and Morris & Co.’s enduring influence.
