Sir Edward Burne-Jones designed a series of six tapestry panels with the overall name “The Arming and Departure of the Knights”. Commissioned for the dining hall at Stanmore Hall via Morris & Co., it depicts King Arthur's knights as they embark on a search for the Holy Grail. It represents the arming and the departure of the knights of the Round Table, among which Sir Bors, Sir Percival and Sir Galahad. The ladies of the court help the knights prepare. Guinevere is seen handing Sir Lancelot his shield, an element that symbolises their eventual betrayal of Arthur.
We source some of our woven tapestry textiles from France, Belgium, Italy, and Spain, countries with long and celebrated histories of textile artistry. From there, much of the finishing work takes place in our own studio. By combining European-sourced woven textiles with hands-on finishing and attention to detail, we bring each piece one step closer to becoming a beautiful addition to your home.
Available as a 25"w x 45"h wall hanging.
