This graceful wall tapestry has been woven on a Jacquard loom by Master Flemish weavers, giving an exceptionally fine detail to the weave.
The design is taken from an original wall hanging by William Morris (1836 - 1896) woven at Merton Abbey, Surrey. Despite Morris’ ambitions to be a painter and his latter reputation as a writer, poet, publisher and political activist, it is as a designer that he is most widely known.
His style formed a bridge between Victorian and modern composition; the emphasis of Morris’ timeless style is based on individuality and handcrafted work.
Our tapestries are created with the greatest care in the finest materials. This tapestry therefore requires no other maintenance other than a dry-dusting with a soft brush. If required please dry clean only.
Fabrics by their nature are flexible; during storage, humidity and temperature may occasionally affect their shape & also cause creasing. To help a tapestry hang better we recommend using a dry iron on a cotton setting. Lightly iron the tapestry (on the face) from the centre towards the edges. In very extreme cases the tapestry can be stretched by pulling the panel gently by hand diagonally to re-shape.
