Original public domain art from the Victoria & Albert Museum, digitally enhanced.
In 1886 the rector of Exeter College, Oxford, commissioned William Morris, the soul of the Arts and Crafts movement, to make a tapestry for the college chapel. The subject proposed – an Adoration of the Magi – was immediately approved by William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. Two years later, the painter, who had been working with Morris & Co (previously Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co) for almost ten years, particularly in the area of stained glass, delivered the preliminary sketch of the tapestry, today kept in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. In truth, he only designed the figures, the greenery and architecture having been entrusted to his colleague John Henry Dearle.
This composition was the first that Burne-Jones had designed specifically for a tapestry. Previously, pieces woven from his designs by the weavers in the workshops set up by Morris in 1881 at Merton Abbey were adapted from preliminary sketches for stained glass. Completed in 1890, The Adoration of the Magi delighted William Morris, who had a great admiration for this beautiful craft, and a fascination for the world of medieval guilds.

CLICK FOR TIPS
When buying artworks figure out what you like. If you're just buying something you love, it's not difficult to make a decision!
If you hang an artwork at home and it doesn’t feel right, move it. Try putting it in different places, and see if it strikes an interesting dialogue with other works on your wall. Smaller artworks often work well near light switches, or hung low over a small piece of furniture like a bedside table.
Grouping works together can be really effective. Test out a group of frames by arranging them on the floor or a table top. If you’re feeling pro, use masking tape to mark out your very own tightly packed grouping!
