The William Morris Owl and Pigeon Tapestry Pillow is inspired by the embroidered “Owl and Pigeon” wall hanging, designed by John Henry Dearle for William Morris and Morris & Co. Originally designed as a portiere, a decorative cover to a door or doorway, the design features an intricate display of Morris beloved floral and animal motifs, which breathe life and movement into this wondrous design. His best inspiration came from his garden where he cared for native plants and developed his deep appreciation of nature. Dearle was a talented textile and stained-glass designer and apprentice of William Morris, and took over the management of Morris & Co. after the death of Morris in 1896. With extraordinary weaving and depth of color, this pillow is woven on jacquard looms. Each woven tapestry pillow measures 18" x 18" and includes insert. Cotton/Poly blend. Care instructions: Dry clean for best results. Made in USA.
