William Morris & Co. - 19th Century
From an original design by William Morris 1836 -1896 woven at Merton Abbey, Surrey. It takes as its subject the thrushes that Morris found stealing fruit in the kitchen garden of his countryside home, Kelmscott Manor, in Oxfordshire. Despite Morris's ambitions to be a painter & his latter reputation as a writer, poet, publisher & political activist, it is as a designer that he is most widely known. His style formed a bridge between Victorian & modern composition, the emphasis of Morris' timeless style is based on individuality & handcrafted work. This graceful tapestry panel has been woven on a Jacquard loom by master weavers. Giving an exceptionally fine detail to the weave, a design which fits comfortably into today's interiors.
Individually hand-made in Cornwall using Flemish woven tapestry backed with velvet & finished with gold coloured braid & fringe
- 7cm x 27cm approx
