A striking vintage French Jacquard woven wall tapestry titled "Les Chevaliers de la Table Ronde" (The Knights of the Round Table). This highly decorative horizontal statement piece is inspired by the iconic 1890s Holy Grail tapestries designed by William Morris and J.H. Dearle for Morris & Co.
The elaborate composition features a symbolic mythical narrative depicting a white unicorn and a golden lion positioned within a dense medieval forest, nestled beneath the hanging heraldic shields of King Arthur’s legendary knights—including Sir Lancelot, Sir Gawaine, and Sir Galahad. The imagery is rich with historical allegories, representing purity, courage, and the noble quest. The design is rendered in a deep palette of rich navy, forest green, and gold tones, all beautifully framed by a vibrant crimson floral mille-fleurs border.
Materials & Construction:
Professionally woven in France, the face of this tapestry features a high-quality blend of 80% cotton and 20% viscose, providing exceptional durability with a subtle, silk-like luster. The piece is fully lined with a protective 100% cotton backing and comes equipped with an integrated hanging tunnel sleeve and sturdy hanging tabs on the reverse for effortless wall mounting. The piece retains its original vintage "Made in France" composition and care labels attached to the reverse.
An exceptional textile choice for adding Arts & Crafts heritage, traditional British elegance, or Gothic revival charm above a sofa, sideboard, bed, or mantelpiece.
