Brintons own the world's largest design archive and historical pattern library in the industry, restored and preserved by our own dedicated archivists.
Consisting of over 100,000 custom designs, Brintons design archives date back to 1790 and include original design papers from the company of William Morris (Morris & Co), original hand painted designs from Voysey and Lewis F Day and work from Robin Day, Pugin and Owen Jones.
With over 20,000 designs produced by our designers every year, Brintons design library also holds digitally created patterns ready to be manufactured into carpet.
