[custom_html]UNIQUE LIFESTYLE DESIGN: The original Lily and Pomegranate pattern was available with a ivory, Jupiter blue, cobalt, heritage red or coal background, Dante Gabriel Rossetti painted no fewer than eight painting of William Morris's wife, Jane Morris, as Proserpine, the Goddess carried off by Pluto to his palace of the dead in the underworld, Jane was Rossetti's mistress for nearly a decade, from 1865-1876, when Jane discovered his addiction to the opiate laudanum, Rosetti also painted Jane as Beatrice, Pandora, and Astarte, but it was the goddess of the underworld that he returned again and again.

Lilies have long been associated with restored innocence. After Rossetti's death in 1882, Morris brought these symbols together in his design for Lily and Pomegranate, Morris's design shows a complex background pattern, when this design was transferred to a wood block for wallpaper and fabric printing, the pattern was represented by dots suggesting "snow", and the winter that followed Demeter's loss of her daughter and Morris's own innocence at the loss of his idealized love of Jane.
