Originally woven in the late 19th century by William Morris (of Morris & Co). this tapestry is one of their most famous. Morris's expert use of colour and historical patterns make this a true classic. It's reminiscent of many wallpaper patterns Morris also developed for his firm.

The tapestry symbolises the growth and continuity of life.

A man of many talents, William Morris (1834 - 1896) weaved his first tapestry in 1879, and went on to form a large tapestry works at Merton Abbey.

This version of the tapestry shows a slightly different interpretation of the piece, and is set on a lush cream backdrop.

A supreme quality Tapestry woven (not printed!) in Flanders, Belgium, using Jacquard Looms. Belgium has a long history of producing beautiful Tapestry art.

About Our Tapestries

Our tapestries are woven in Flanders, Belgium, using Jacquard Looms. These looms are modern versions of those invented in the early 1800s by Joseph Marie Jacquard. These modern versions still use the same techniques invented 200 years ago.

Due to the nature of this manufacturing process, and the natural qualities of the materials used, each Tapestry is unique. Most of the tapestries are made from wool and cotton, so retain the same look and feel as the originals, yet benefit from modern synthetic fibres to add strength, stability and in some cases, metallic golden hints.

You can rest-assured that our tapestries are woven carefully and intricately, and are not just screen prints! They are bona fide woven replicas of original tapestry designs (many of which can be seen in museums all over the world), as well as some interesting new designs.

The back of each tapestry is lined with a cotton canvas, and features an information certificate.

Small and medium sized tapestries make great, eye-catching alternatives to hung pictures, and will certainly providing a talking point!

Please note that all sizes listed on this web site are approximate. Due to the natural materials used in tapestries, and the weaving process itself, sizes can vary by up to a few centimeters on the larger tapestries.

Marilyn

"I ordered a Raven skull T shirt, a Raven Skull ornament, a Raven journal and a little plaque with a rat looking at a bat saying "OMG! it's an angel". All arrived promptly and well packed, your pricing is fair and your goods as described. I'm a middle aged former Goth (it never quite goes away, no matter how old you are). I even saw Bauhaus at their RIP gig, Hammersmith 1983. I'm Corvid crazy and am lucky enough to get gifts from the crows and ravens who live nearby in exchange from the food I leave out for them. I wish you had been around when I was a teenager, I would have been a regular customer. Fab little shop full of quirky gifts for those of us who like the darker things in life! Thank you. "
