Tapestry Deer and Shields

This beautiful tapestry has been inspired by the Holy Grail tapestries that were woven by Morris & Company depicting scenes from the Legend of King Arthur. Despite Morris' ambitions to be a painter and his latter reputation as a writer, poet, publisher and political activist, it is as a designer that he is most widely known. The Verdure with Deer and Shields tapestry is an accompanying woodland tapestry from the Holy Grail series featuring deer, the knight’s shields hanging from the trees and the text stating " Of those Knights that thus departed these are the shields of Sir Gawaine of Orkney, Sir Lancelot, Sir Hector Demarys, Sir Bors, Sir Percival and Sir Galahad ". This highly detailed tapestry makes a wonderful gift for any history lover.   Key Features: Made in Britain Hand finished tapestry Approx. 82cm x 145cm
