Series of tapestries depicting the legend of the Holy Grail
The Arming and Departure of the Knights, one of the Holy Grail tapestries.
The Holy Grail or San Graal tapestries are a set of six tapestries depicting scenes from the legend of King Arthur and the quest for the Holy Grail. The tapestries were commissioned from Morris & Co. by William Knox D'Arcy in 1890 for his dining room at Stanmore Hall,[1] outside London.[2][3] Additional versions of the tapestries with minor variations were woven on commission by Morris & Co. over the next decade.
^Stanmore Hall, a Gothic Revival house of the 1840s, stood in Stanmore, Middlesex, northwest of London; commissions at Stanmore are discussed by Susan Moore, "The Marxist and the Oilman: Morris & Co. at Stanmore Hall", Country Life, 178, no. 4604 (14 November 1985:1494-96).
