William de Morgan is best known for his ceramic
tiles depicting humorous animals and birds. His sense of invention
and imagination in their portrayal has never been equalled as this
design illustrates so well.
His choice of colours is fabulous and gives
the tapestry a real feeling of movement and energy. Only the glorious
depth and a wonderful sheen of Paterna wools could match the vibrant
colours of the original tile. While the design is over a hundered
years old it is strikingly contemporary and would go beautifully
in a minimalist style home.
The tapestry
measures 15¼" x 15" (37 x 38cm) and is worked on 14
gauge canvas. It is available on either printed canvas or unprinted
canvas suitable for a pillow or cushion.
