This striking piece consists of all Morriss favourite design elements: trees, acanthus leaves, branches, birds and scroll. The art of weaving tapestries had almost died out in England until it was revived by Morris in the last quarter of the 19th Century.
This beautiful tapestry is woven on a jacquard loom by skilled weavers, keeping alive the centuries old tradition of tapestry manufacturing from generation to generation. This tapestry is fully lined incorporating a sleeve along the top for hanging with a Hines hanging rod. Alternatively, this tapestry can be hung with a wooden batten which is a concealed method of hanging.
Composition: 100% cotton
Finish on reverse: This tapestry is fully backed with luxury cotton lining incorporating a sleeve along the top for hanging purposes. See less
