About the Artwork
The SS Arabia tile has been manipulated to “step and repeat”.

De Morgan used his mathematical skill to plan designs for single tiles that could be repeated horizontally, vertically, or rotated to create a range of patterns when installed. The patterns are particularly triumphant between 1889-1898 when he produced large scale architectural work with his new business partner, Halsey Ricardo (1854 – 1928), a newly formed partnership in 1888, sponsored by the two men's wives, Sophia De Morgan and Kate (Rendell) Ricardo.

T.E. Collcutt, the well-respected architect who was responsible for the P&O interiors, commissioned De Morgan & Co initially for six new luxury passenger liners – SS Arabia, SS China, SS Malta, SS Palawan, SS Persia and SS Sumatra. Commissions for the interiors of palatial yachts and for the installation of vast tile schemes were commercially important to De Morgan & Co.

This 9-inch tile depicts a primrose with three yellow flowers and symmetrical leaves in a blue and manganese floral cartouche. This tile was originally designed for use on the P&O ship S.S. Arabia.
