Acanthus Tapestry Azure

William Morris' Acanthus is renowned for its intricate and elegant motifs, reproduced here in tapestry form.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this tapestry fabric is not only a testament to a historic design, but also a durable and versatile material suitable for a range of decorative purposes, evoking a sense of timeless elegance featuring layered foliage with dramatic swirling leaves.

Originally an ancient Greek and Roman motif and in Mediterranean cultures is seen as a symbol of enduring life and immortality due to its hardy nature and ability to thrive in various environments. During the middle ages it became a symbol of wealth and power and often used in coats of arms. The distinctive shape of the beautifully woven acanthus leaves symbolises resilience and enduring beauty.
