The Quest for the Holy Grail

The Quest for the Holy Grail by Edward Burne-Jones is this months special offer.

In 1895-6 Sir Edward Burne-Jones designed a series of six panels with the overall name "The Arming and Departure of the Knights". It was commissioned for a baronial dining hall from Morris and Co. Fortunately for us, several copies of each panel were woven. William Morris might have been involved to some extent in the last months of his lefe, along with Henry Dearle who supervised tapestry weaving for the Firm.

Some of the dramatic originals are owned by Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber and were loaned for a Pre-Raphaelite display at the Royal Academy, London. I had the immense pleasure of seeing them.

The European reproduction tapestries are woven by a long-established weaver who has elected to use an acrylic, viscose and rayon to bring out the lustrous details of this fine quality tapestry.
