Description

The woodland tapestry side is a portion of the simplified version of the original 1892 John Henry Dearle tapestry which shows rabbits, a pheasant and deer and is clearly influenced by William Morris. It was woven at Merton Abbey by Morris & Co in wool and mohair and measures over 15 feet in length.

Traditional Tapestries were established in 1991 by husband and wife team, Colin and Catherine.  Their workshops and office complex utilise a large converted barn nestling in the Cornish countryside. They are family business employing a local skilled workforce.

All of the tapestry panels and fabrics are imported direct from Master Flemish Weavers, who use modern electronic Jacquard looms utilizing the latest computer technology to create the finest high quality designs. Many designs are reproduced from ancient medieval tapestries, although several new creations are inspired from contemporary art forms. The unfinished tapestry panels are then sent to the UK where they are made into elegant wall tapestries, cushions and bags.

Measures 75cm x 200cm and has a tab on the back to hang using a pole or a rod (sold separately).
