Tulip and Rose was designed by William Morris and registered on 20 January 1876.
This length would make a good wall hanging as basically in good condition. We can arrange to hang this from a batten applied with velcro, which is a simple but effective way of hanging a textile.
The thick 3 ply woven wool and linen has terracotta roses and full blown tulips in shaded pale blue with some smaller ochre half tulips, all on an indigo background.
6ft x 30 in; 1.80 x 69 cm;
Repeat 27 1/2 in; 70 cm. There are 2 repeats.
Top 10 cm has machine stitched holes, from when it was a curtain which have not come out despite professional cleaning. Little wear and slight fading to the two right hand terracotta flowers. Professionally cleaned.
William Morris Textiles. Linda Parry p 210, no 18. Circ.390A-1970.
