About the Artwork Arguably, this repeating pattern is one of De Morgan’s most accomplished designs. Way before his 1888 partnership formed with architect Halsey Ricardo, this design sees De Morgan asserting himself as master large scale pattern maker. It is often assumed that De Morgan’s earlier designs were simpler with a common squared step-and-repeat formations, but this 1881 design is complex. This decorative tile panel from the Chelsea period uses a ‘never ending’ repetition method. This sophisticated pattern requires a series of “A” and “B” tiles, with “feet” on one tile to be aligned with a “body” on another, achieving visual fluidity.
