The original blocks for William Morris's wallpaper designs were included in the sale of Jeffrey & Co. which was purchased by Sanderson. When Morris & Co. was dissolved in 1940, Sanderson & Sons bought its wallpaper business and the rights to use the Morris name. The Morris collection is held in Denham, Buckinghamshire and, though not on public display, is regularly used by Sanderson's current designers. SCARCE. Good .
