Orange tree (no border)
This piece depicts a small orange tree in full bloom, design by John Henry Dearle (1860 - 1932) for Morris & Co around 1900. It was inspired by a larger tapestry designed in 1890 called The Orchard and was originally a design for a fire screen. Oranges were a favorite motif for Morris & Co and can be seen across a number of different types of work produced by them, including tapestries, wallpaper patterns and carpets. This tapestry is lined and has a tunnel for ease of hanging.
Originally founded as Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co in 1861, Morris & Co were renowned for the design and production of very high quality decorative art. The range of works included textiles, tapestries and stained glass work, much of which still survives today. Founded on the Pre-Raphaelite principle of authenticity, William Morris embraced an ideal that viewed modern (i.e. 19th century) art as mere mass production, with none of the verve and dynamism of earlier approaches, in particular Medieval art, which they believed retained more of the artist's original personality in the work, lending it a uniqueness lost in mass production. All Morris tapestries should be seen in this light, and are a testament to craftsmanship, technique and discipline, as well as triumphing the artist above the process.
