Thank you to Lisa Gill for sharing her screencaps of Monarch of the Glen.  Lisa’s keen eye spotted what appears to be the William Morris Honeysuckle pattern on the walls and the Blackthorn pattern in the stack of fabric:

Morris & Co. was founded by William Morris in 1861 and greatly influenced the Arts and Crafts movement.  Morris’ wallpaper designs are innovative, beautiful and timeless.

  1. I don’t know where you see Blackthorn. The chair under the red fabric is not it, and the red fabric is too pixelated to make out, but it doesn’t look like the colorway of the redder version of Blackthorn. (Source: I’ve been scouring the internet for uses of that particular pattern in film and tv)
