This remarkable William Morris tapestry was originally designed
for his patron Alexander Ionides. Completed in 1887, it 
measured 15ft wide. Morris delegated the drawing of the 
animals to the architect Philip Webb and the foreground
millefleurs to his eventual successor Henry Dearle. The result 
is a tribute to their lifelong friendship and various talents. It is 
interesting to compare the Greenery tapestry designed later 
entirely by Henry Dearle. The original Forest is owned by 
the Victoria & Albert Museum. 


The tapestry has been adapted so that 
each part of the design is complete in itself. However 
the FOX (shown here), Hare, and Raven look marvelous 
sewn together to make a modern day version of the famous
wall hanging. The Peacock is a perfect size for a firescreen. 
The Lion fits the stool shown with the Borders or can be 
made into a comfortable fireside cushion.
