Due to De Morgan being a decretive artist that has designed many things from the pottery above to the tiles below. He was an art's and crafts movement designer and he typically painted in Persian colours. All the designs you see by him, were all hand painted and they usually ended up in Victorian homes.
The designs by De Morgan were particularly of interest to me because I'm a huge lover of botanics and the beauty of nature. He, much like myself, loved the idea of nature and usually painted designs that were repeated and decorative - which I personally find very aesthetically pleasing. These tiles (above) were painted in '1872-1900' and were often used in Victorian homes on their walls. Today we replicate the style (to a degree) with items you can buy in places such as Jon Lewis with a very similar feel to De Morgans style.
