EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Arras Tapestry at Stanmore Hall, dating back to 1898-9. These remarkable tapestries, known as The Holy Grail or San Graal tapestries, were specially commissioned by William Knox D'Arcy from Morris & Co. for his dining room in Stanmore Hall. The featured tapestry titled "The Arming and Departure of the Knights" is a stunning depiction of scenes from the legendary tale of King Arthur and the quest for the Holy Grail. This piece beautifully captures a momentous event as knights prepare themselves for their noble journey. The photograph provides a glimpse into an opulent interior filled with regal furniture, including an ornate chair fit for royalty. A majestic clock adorns one wall, adding to the grandeur of this magnificent space. This image not only transports us back to 19th-century England but also offers insight into religious symbolism and Christian themes prevalent during that era. It serves as a testament to both artistic craftsmanship and devotion. With its monochrome aesthetic and intricate details, this print truly embodies the spirit of the Arts and Crafts Movement which was prominent during this time period. Preserved through time, this extraordinary wall hanging continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and legendary narrative surrounding King Arthur's fabled quest for the Holy Grail.
