{"product_id":"william-morris-peacock-and-dragon-print","title":"Peacock and Dragon by William Morris","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeacocks and dragons in woven wool: William Morris’s Peacock and Dragon, on stretched canvas, framed, or on fine art paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design is woven rose, blue and red on a warm olive ground, and a cheap copy flattens the weave into blur. Our William Morris Peacock and Dragon print was graded beside the Met’s textile so the colours stay rich and the weave still shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eLondon, 1878\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1878 William Morris visited a London shop and saw a room from Damascus, all vermilion and gold and ultramarine, he wrote, just like going into the Arabian Nights. That year he designed this heavy woven wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eLike a tapestry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairs of dragons and peacocks face each other among interlacing branches. The repeat is huge, more than a metre tall, and he wanted the thick wool to feel like a medieval tapestry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eArts and Crafts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe used it in his own London home, Kelmscott House. His firm called it a favourite with its author, and it became one of Morris \u0026amp; Co.’s most successful furnishings. Our print reproduces the piece in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCanvas, framed or paper\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStretched canvas.\u003c\/strong\u003e Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFramed canvas.\u003c\/strong\u003e The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFramed print.\u003c\/strong\u003e Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFine art print.\u003c\/strong\u003e Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e24x12 inch, 36x18 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOn your wall\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts wide shape suits a living room, a study or the wall above a sofa. The rose and olive tones look warm with cream, terracotta and walnut, and a gold or dark wood frame suits it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this the original painting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the colour look flat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the edges be cropped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich size is right for my wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat if it arrives damaged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSend us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I return it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, within 30 days of delivery.
