===Decorative arts=== [[File:Burne-Jones, Sir Edward, Saint Cecilia, ca. 1900.jpg|thumb|left|''[[Saint Cecilia]]'', {{c.}} 1900, [[Princeton University Art Museum]], one of nearly thirty versions of a window designed by Burne-Jones and executed by Morris & Co.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Saint Cecilia (y1974β84) |url=http://artmuseum.princeton.edu/collections/objects/32015 |website=Princeton University Art Museum |publisher=Princeton University}}</ref>]] {{Main|Morris & Co.}} In 1861, William Morris founded the [[decorative arts]] firm of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. with Rossetti, Burne-Jones, [[Ford Madox Brown]] and Philip Webb as partners, together with [[Charles Joseph Faulkner|Charles Faulkner]] and [[Peter Paul Marshall]], the former of whom was a member of the Oxford Brotherhood, and the latter a friend of Brown and Rossetti.<ref name="DNB" /> The prospectus set forth that the firm would undertake carving, [[stained glass]], metal-work, paper-hangings, [[chintz]]es (printed fabrics), and [[carpet]]s.<ref name="EB1911" /> The decoration of churches was from the first an important part of the business. The work shown by the firm at the [[1862 International Exhibition]] attracted notice, and later it was flourishing. Two significant secular commissions helped establish the firm's reputation in the late 1860s: a royal project at [[St. James's Palace]] and the "green dining room" at the South Kensington Museum (now the [[Victoria and Albert Museum|Victoria and Albert]]) of 1867 which featured stained glass windows and panel figures by Burne-Jones.{{sfn|Parry|1996|loc=Domestic Decoration|pp=139β140}} In 1871 Morris & Co. were responsible for the windows at [[All Saints Church, Wilden|All Saints]], designed by Burne-Jones for [[Alfred Baldwin (politician)|Alfred Baldwin]], his wife's brother-in-law. The firm was reorganised as Morris & Co. in 1875, and Burne-Jones continued to contribute designs for stained glass and later tapestries until the end of his career. Nine windows designed by him and made by Morris & Co were installed in Holy Trinity Church in Frome.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Burne-Jones Windows β Holy Trinity Frome |url=http://www.holytrinityfrome.info/?page_id=39066 |access-date=2019-06-02 |language=en-US}}</ref> Stained glass windows in the [[Christ Church, Oxford|Christ Church]] cathedral and other buildings in [[Oxford]] are by Morris & Co. with designs by Burne-Jones.<ref name="CCglass">[http://www.southgategreen.org.uk/christchurch/burnejones.php.

Stanmore Hall was the last major decorating commission executed by Morris & Co. before Morris's death in 1896. It was the most extensive commission undertaken by the firm, and included a series of tapestries based on the story of the [[Holy Grail]] for the dining room, with figures by Burne-Jones.{{sfn|Parry|1996|loc=Domestic Decoration|pp=146β147}} In 1891 Jones was elected a member of the [[Art Workers Guild]].
