William Morris, Birds Tapestry, Webbs Blue, blue & red woven wool & cotton oblong cushion cover, throw pillow cover, home decor 12 x 20. William Morris famously said, Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful. Hand sewn cushion cover made from a piece of William Morris,. Bird Tapestry, from their Emery Walker's House Collection, a woven 80% wool & 20% cotton blend, which has been piped in a teal velvet. Paired birds alternate between perched & in-flight in this serene 1878 tapestry design from William Morris. Surprising bursts of colour emerge upon closer inspection pulling the eye towards the original hand-driven jacquard loom production quality. William Morris designed Bird in 1878 to adorn the walls of his own drawing room in Kelmscott House. His friend & neighbour the noted typographer Sir Emery Walker adorned his dining room with an identical Bird tapestry after receiving an inheritance from either Morris or Philip Webb the famous Arts & Crafts architect. Our modern Bird tapestry retains William Morris's high regard for craftsmanship being woven by Morris & Co. craftspeople right here in the UK using a cotton-wool blend (80% wool). ( quote from the Morris & Co website. ) All the seams have been double sewn & four stitched overlocked for strength & you can choose from a selection of fabrics for the reverse. Please see the drop down menu to make your choice. There is a concealed zip on the reverse under the piping or ease of opening Measures approximately 12 x 20 inches ( 30 x 50 cm ) This fabric retails at 349 a metre so I was very lucky to source a small piece.
