Shipping and delivery

8 questions

How much does delivery cost?

Delivery is on us. You see the full price, including any tax, at checkout before you pay.

How long does delivery take?

It depends on where you live and on the format. Our shipping times page lists estimates by country. Framed posters and canvas can take a little longer because they are built to order.

Where do you ship?

We ship to most countries. Enter your address at checkout to confirm we deliver to you.

Where are the prints made?

At a partner print facility close to your address. Most orders are printed in the same country or region they are delivered to, which keeps delivery short.

How do I track my order?

When your order ships, you get an email with a tracking link. Tracking can take a day to show its first update.

Will I pay customs or import fees?

Most orders are printed in or near your own country, so extra fees are rare. If an order does cross a border, local duties or taxes may apply.

My tracking has not moved for days.

Tracking sometimes pauses between carrier scans. If nothing has changed for several working days, contact us with your order number and we will look into it.

I entered the wrong address.

Posters and paper

6 questions

What paper do you use?

A 250 gsm (110 lb) matte paper, uncoated, with a natural off-white tone. It is 0.29 mm (11.4 mils) thick.

Is the paper acid-free?

Yes. It has a pH above 7, so it resists yellowing over time.

Does the poster come with a frame?

No. Only the framed poster includes a frame. The poster with hangers comes with two wooden hangers, and the canvas comes on its own wooden frame.

How do the poster hangers work?

Two pine wood bars with magnets inside hold the top and bottom of the poster. No pins, no glue and no holes in the paper, so you can swap the print whenever you like.

What frame do I need for a poster?

Choose a frame made for the exact poster size. Sizes are listed in inches in the US and Canada and in centimeters everywhere else, to match standard frames in each region.

Is the paper sustainable?

Yes. It is FSC-certified or equivalent, which means it comes from responsibly managed forests.

Framed posters

5 questions

What is the frame made of?

Solid oak or ash from responsibly managed forests. The frame is 20 mm (0.79 in) deep and wide.

Is there glass in the frame?

The front is shatterproof plexiglass. It is clear like glass, lighter on the wall and much safer to ship.

Does it arrive ready to hang?

Yes. A hanging kit is included, so it can go on the wall the day it arrives.

Which frame colors can I choose?

The frame options for each design are shown on its product page.

How many sizes are there?

Framed posters come in 15 sizes.

Canvas

4 questions

What is the canvas made of?

A cotton and polyester blend, 300 to 350 gsm, stretched over FSC-certified wooden bars.

How deep is the canvas?

Slim canvas is 2 cm (0.79 in) deep. Thick canvas is 4 cm (1.57 in) deep.

Does a canvas need a frame or glass?

No. It arrives stretched and ready to hang, with a hanging kit included.

Canvas or framed poster, which should I choose?

Canvas has a soft woven texture, no reflections and a lighter look. A framed poster shows finer detail on paper, behind plexiglass, with a clean wood border. Both hang straight away.

Sizes and choosing

6 questions

Which sizes are available?

Posters and posters with hangers come in 29 sizes, canvas in 26 and framed posters in 15. Each product page lists the sizes for that design.

Why are sizes in inches or centimeters?

Customers in the US and Canada see sizes in inches. Everyone else sees them in centimeters, to match the standard sizes in each region.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the wall, then mark the size with masking tape to see how it feels in the room. Above a sofa or bed, a print about two thirds the width of the furniture usually looks balanced.

Does the design change between sizes?

The pattern stays the same. Because sizes have different proportions, the edges may show slightly more or less of the pattern.

Can I order a custom size?

Not at the moment. Choose the nearest size, or contact us if you need something special.

Will the colors match my screen?

Very closely, but not exactly. Every screen shows color a little differently, and matte paper and canvas reflect light more softly than a backlit screen.

William Morris and the designs

7 questions

Who was William Morris?

An English designer, writer and craftsman who lived from 1834 to 1896. He led the Arts and Crafts movement and is best known for wallpapers and textiles drawn from English plants, flowers and birds.

Are these original Morris prints?

No. They are new prints made from his designs. The original papers and textiles are held by museums and private collections.

Is it legal to sell Morris designs?

Yes. Morris died in 1896, so his designs are in the public domain and free for anyone to use. Our public domain policy explains the details.

What does Arts and Crafts or William Morris style mean in a title?

It marks a new design made in the spirit of the Arts and Crafts movement. It is inspired by Morris but is not a copy of one of his patterns.

Why do some designs come in different colors?

Some patterns are offered in new colorways. The pattern stays his, the colors are our choice, and they are named in the product title.

Are you connected with Morris & Co.?

No. We are an independent shop with no link to Morris & Co., its owner Sanderson Design Group, the William Morris Society or the William Morris Gallery.

Which Morris designs are best known?

Strawberry Thief from 1883, Willow Bough from 1887, Acanthus from 1875 and Trellis, his first wallpaper, from 1864. Search the shop to see which ones we print.

Care and hanging

5 questions

How do I clean my print?

Dust it with a soft, dry cloth. Never use water or cleaning spray on paper or canvas.

Where should I hang it?

Out of direct sunlight and away from damp walls, radiators and heaters. Strong sun fades any print over time.

Can I hang it in a bathroom or kitchen?

It is better not to. Steam and humidity can warp paper and canvas. If you do, choose a framed poster and a well aired spot.

How high should I hang a print?

Aim for the center of the print at about 145 to 150 cm (57 to 60 in) from the floor, roughly eye level.

How do I hang a group of prints?

Lay them out on the floor first, then trace each one on paper and tape the sheets to the wall. Leave a gap of 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3 in) between frames.
