Morris & Co. refers to a company originally founded by the artist and designer William Morris and his associates in 1861, known initially as Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. It was a furnishings and decorative arts manufacturer and retailer famous for its medieval-inspired handcrafted items such as wallpaper, fabrics, stained glass, and furniture. The company was a significant part of the Arts and Crafts Movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and had a lasting influence on interior decoration, especially with its handcrafted textile and wallpaper designs. Morris & Co. continued in various forms until its closure in 1940, but its designs and brand name persist today under licensing agreements with companies like Sanderson & Sons and Liberty of London.
