Unique gifts for him inspired by The Met collection. The botanical pattern decorating this 100% silk tie celebrates Blackthorn (1892), a block-printed wallpaper designed by John Henry Dearle (British, 1859–1932) and approved by William Morris (British, 1834–1896) for Morris & Company. Morris was a prolific producer of elevated fabrics and decorative objects. Profoundly inspired by nature, he created mesmerizing motifs comprising lush fruits and rambling blooms.
