This tapestry is also known as The Tree of Life and is from an embroidered wool portiere designed by John Henry Dearle (1860-1932), an associate of William Morris who worked very closely with him for many years.
This piece was produced around 1910 by the firm of Morris & Company, the firm originally established by William Morris at Merton Abbey, Surrey.
The art of weaving tapestries had almost died out in England until it was revived by Morris. With the aid of an eighteenth century French manual on Arts & Crafts, Morris wove his first experimental piece at Kelmscott Manor in 1879. Thereafter he taught his workmen the technique, and the production was later moved to Merton Abbey, where Morris & Company produced many beautifully designed curtains, rugs, tapestries and wall-papers.</p><p>This beautiful tapestry is woven on a jacquard loom by skilled weavers, keeping alive the centuries old tradition of tapestry manufacturing from generation to generation. This tapestry is fully lined incorporating a sleeve along the top for hanging with a Hines hanging rod. Alternatively, this tapestry can be hung with a wooden batten which is a concealed method of hanging.</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/tapestries/hanging-rods.html"></a></span></p>

About Hines Fabrics - The Chateau Collection
The Chateau Collection is presented as a unique collection of finely-woven tapestry fabrics, suitable for a wide variety of uses for interior furnishing, including curtains and upholstery, as well as other
decorative accessories.
Produced in the traditional weaving regions of Europe, these fine quality furnishing fabrics are woven on Jacquard looms by silled craftsmen using carefully selected yarns, creating attractive textures in
authenic colours.
Styles span an extensive historical period, from the great Bayeux Tapestry of the 11th Century, through the Medieval and Renaissance eras of the later periods, to the English 'Arts & Crafts' designs of the
late 19th Century.
Inspired from the past, woven for the present, these richly-textured fabrics will provide a luxurious warmth and finesse to complement the interior decoration of any property, whether period or contemporary, for
the most discerning of clients around the world.
The black bar part of the hanging rods are telescopic and will fit any tapestry widths that fall within the size range specified. For example, if your tapestry was 90cm wide you would need a Size 2 hanging rod. Note: The hanging rod can be slid in or out to show as little or as much of the black bar as you would like.
