19th Century William Morris Style Tapestry, Handmade, Earth tones, Rust
About the Item
William Morris wrote that tapestry is "the noblest of the weaving arts," allowing the weaver to achieve "depth of tone, richness of colour, and exquisite gradation of tints." These qualities are clearly evident in "Greenery"-a masterwork of the British Arts and Crafts movement. Morris first set up the Morris & Co. tapestry workshop at Merton Abbey near London in 1881, with John Henry Dearle as his first apprentice. Dearle went on to manage the works at Merton Abbey and became one of the firm's most successful designers. When Percy and Madeleine Wyndham commissioned Morris to produce a tapestry for their country house "Clouds" in 1892, Dearle produced this lush design. It includes three trees: oak, chestnut, and pear, with verses written by William Morris woven above each, making reference to that tree and its use in carpentry. Measures: 3'9" x 6'.

Aubusson tapestry of the 19th century managed to compete with the royal manufacture of Gobelins tapestry and the privileged position of Beauvais tapestry, although generally regarded as not their equal.

- Antique 19th Century French Aubusson Tapestry, Handmade, Wall Hanging, Silk FineLocated in Port Washington, NYThe Aubusson tapestry manufacture of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries managed to compete with the royal manufacture of Gobelins tapestry and the privileged position of Beauvais tapestry.
