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 & his latter reputation as a writer, poet, publisher & political activist, it is as a designer that he is most widely known. The Verdure with Deer & Shields tapestry is an accompanying woodland tapestry from the Holy Grail series featuring deer, the knight's shields hanging from the trees & 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 & Sir Galahad . This highly detailed tapestry makes a wonderful gift for any history lover. This is a reproduction of the famous Holy Grail Tapestry which was originally designed by Edward Burne Jones & woven by William Morris & Co in 1895-96.
