William Morris Tapestry, The Orange Tree
William Morris, founder of The Arts and Crafts movement, founded a tapestry workshop at Merton Abbey, where he and his colleagues created works that helped revive tapestry weaving as an art form driven by the spirit and vision of the artist, rather than by process. The Orange Tree, designed by John Henry Deale, takes it inspiration from a larger Morris tapestry, The Orchard. It shows an orange tree bursting with fruit, under planted by spring flowers. The scene is contained by a circular flower and leaf motif, which in turn is edged by a larger design of leaves. The rich, natural colors of the the flora stand out against the depth of the dark background. This William Morris tapestry, The Orange Tree will elevate the wall décor of modern and traditional homes alike.
