Greenery Tapestry
John Henry Dearle tapestries
The Greenery Tapestry is a version of an original tapestry hanging in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; one of few John Henry Dearle tapestries. It depicts two rabbits, a pheasant and deer. The original 1892 tapestry, clearly influenced by William Morris, was woven at Merton Abbey by Morris & Co in wool and mohair; our version is woven in France in 72% cotton, 25% viscose and 3% polyester. The 1892 design was 7″ high and over 15′ long; ours is available in two sizes for each of several formats:
– this full scene with its red border,
– the full tapestry without the border,
– the left side with the two rabbits and pheasant with the red border,
– the right side with the pheasant and two deer with the red border.
This French tapestry is fully lined with a rod pocket – we supply hanging instructions with each order. Note – the smaller size has slightly softer colour tones.
