Strawberry Thief Earrings

Strawberry Thief Earrings: taken from one of William Morris's best known designs in the Arts & Crafts period. Despite the fact the original 1883 design was one of Morris and Co's most expensive furnishings, it became a firm favourite with clients. He took the idea from the thrushes which frequently stole the strawberries in the kitchen garden of his countryside home, Kelmscott manor, in Oxfordshire.
