Acanthus and Flowers Tapestry Table Runner

This vibrant tapestry table runner depicts Acanthus and Flowers from a design by William Morris. The tapestry has been woven by master Flemish weavers, giving an exceptionally fine but hard wearing weave.
The original design by William Morris (1836 -1896) was woven at Merton Abbey, Surrey. Morris's designs formed a bridge between Victorian and modern designs, the emphasis being on timeless style and based on the individuality of handcrafted work.
Our tapestries are created with the greatest care in the finest materials. This tapestry therefore requires no other maintenance other than a dry-dusting with a soft brush. If required please dry clean only.
Fabrics by their nature are flexible, during storage, humidity and temperature may occasionally affect their shape and also cause creasing. To help a tapestry hang better we recommend using a dry iron on a cotton setting. Lightly iron the tapestry (on the face) from the centre towards the edges. In very extreme cases the tapestry can be stretched by pulling the panel gently by hand diagonally to re-shape.
