{"product_id":"x-harness-willow-bough-azure","title":"X Harness — Willow Bough in Azure (William Morris)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWilliam Morris designed \u003c\/em\u003eWillow Bough\u003cem\u003e in 1887 — and it's been on parlour walls ever since. The most-loved print in the Morris catalogue, redirected to an X Harness in the Alpha 30 Archive.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWillow Bough\u003c\/em\u003e is the Morris archive's quietest decision and one of its most-reproduced — slim willow leaves and curving stems in cool azure, layered against a slightly deeper navy underleaf for depth, with peach-yellow tendrils for warmth, all on a chalk-cream ground that reads like the colour of an old book page. The X silhouette catches the print's curving stems on the diagonal across the chest — the most graphic silhouette in the archive, where Morris's leaf geometry runs across the body's lines rather than aligning with them. Blue stitching anchors the print's azure register without competing.
