拍品專文


These panels are stitched in the Morris & Co. house style (darning with a stem stitch outline) and are typical of the high quality work produced by the embroidery department under the direction of William and Jane Morris's younger daughter May Morris (1862-1938), between 1885-1896. Morris & Co. also produced embroidery kits that could be worked at home.

Whilst this exact design is apparently not recorded, there are several references to ‘tulip’ in the Morris & Co. embroidery department day book in the National Art Library at the V&A and the striped pistil in two of the flowers in the right-hand panel closely resembles the Peony panel in the Morris & Co. Embroidery Work catalogue, circa 1912, which also illustrates a variety of single, two and three-fold screens for mounting embroideries, with related pediments and turned finials.

A very closely related panel to that depicted on the right-hand fold, the frame of which is stamped 'MORRIS & CO.', was sold anonymously, Christie's, South Kensington, 1 December 2005, lot 96.
