William Morris Woodpecker Wall Tapestry
The Woodpecker Wall Tapestry brings a sense of timelessness and rich storytelling into your home.
The wall tapestry was designed by William Morris in 1885, and it most certainly can tell a story. The tapestry depicts a colorful woodpecker perched on a fruit tree, surrounded by woven acanthus leaves, branching vines, etc. It draws inspiration from the country’s classic mythology whereby Picus, a King of Italy, was transformed into a woodpecker.
The mythology combined with various natural subjects creates a pleasing visual composition. It was woven with great attention to detail, and reflects the very careful craftsmanship that Morris expected from the Arts and Crafts movement, and the time-consuming weaving involved in the making of the wall tapestry length of textiles. The approximately 44 inches wide by 29 inch high wall tapestry can be used to create historical depth and artistic value for any room.
