"Tulip and Rose" is a wallpaper design created by William Morris, a prominent figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, sometime around 1876. The design is characteristic of Morris's style, with its intricate floral patterns and rich colors. The wallpaper features repeating motifs of tulips and roses, intertwined with stylized leaves and vines. This pattern exemplifies Morris's commitment to handcraftsmanship and natural forms, seeking to revive traditional decorative arts while rejecting the mass-produced aesthetics of the Industrial Revolution. Today, the design is housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, and is considered a significant piece in the history of design.
