William Morris tapestries
This category not only includes William Morris tapestries but also tapestry designs by Sir Edward Burne-Jones. It seems appropriate to combine the wall hangings designed by these two friends since they often worked together and had so much in common. Similarly, wall tapestries produced by Morris & Co are also included here. Other Arts and Crafts tapestries are in a separate section.

William Morris tapestries are a major legacy left by an English designer, artisan, poet and social reformer who transformed many of the applied arts of his day.
Morris, who lived from 1834 to 1896, was the principal force behind the Arts and Crafts Movement. Along with his life-long friend Edward Burne-Jones, who also designed some of our tapestries, Morris used past influences and the natural world around him to break out of the Victorian stuffiness of his time. Inspired by artists of medieval times, by contemporary visionaries like John Ruskin and by fellow artists such as the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood he led a renaissance in the arts. These included painting, architecture, textiles, ceramics, stained glass, printing, wallpaper and, of course, tapestries.
William Morris called tapestry weaving “the noblest of the weaving arts”. His enthusiasm extended to learning to weave tapestries from a fourteenth century French manual. From this he designed a loom in 1879 which he had placed in his bedroom at Kelmscott Manor. He would even spend hours with his arms in vats experimenting with natural dyes. Later Morris & Co established a tapestry workshop at Merton Abbey under John Henry Dearle. All these elements come together in some of The Tapestry House collection such as Tulip and Willow which was originally an 1873 wood-block printed fabric design and now a fine French tapestry wall-hanging.
We leave you to ponder this wonderful quotation from this great man: “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful”. William Morris tapestries surely meet this challenge.
