Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. (1861-1875) and its successor '''Morris & Co.''' (1875-1940) were Furnishings and Decorative Arts manufacturers and retailers founded by the Pre-Raphaelite artist and designer William Morris . Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co., "Fine Art Workmen in Painting, Carving, Furniture and the Metals," was jointly created by Morris, Ford Madox Brown , Edward Burne-Jones , Charles Faulkner , Dante Gabriel Rossetti , P. P. Marshall , and Philip Webb in 1861 to create and sell medieval-inspired, handcrafted items for the home. The company was dissolved in 1875 and reorganized under Morris's sole direction as Morris & Co. Although its most influential period was during the flourishing of the Arts And Crafts Movement in Britain in the 1880s and 1890s, Morris & Co. remained in operation in a limited fashion from World War I until its closure in 1940 .
