This is a visual journey with the exquisite the Lion Rampant design by the great English artist De Morgan, beautifully printed on a 100% Mulberry silk twill pallium scarf. This wearable masterpiece combines the luxurious feel of silk with his vibrant, intricate artwork, that was is one of his most complex step and repeating tile patterns.

“The ideal travel accessory. I used this scarf over the summer on the hot sandy Mediterranean beaches of Formentera, Ibiza, for a day at Sea for head cover and as a quick modest coverup when meeting for an apéritif at the beach bar. This is a versatile travel accessory that is lightweight, cooling and fits easily into my handbag”. Alicia, London.

About the Artwork
The Lion Rampant refers to the profile attitude of this Lion. William De Morgan’s beast is spread across a mural of 42 glazed tiles. Over his career, he drew hundreds of animals, each with their own anthropomorphic sensibilities. This Lioness with the sun ray behind her head is a true symbol of strength and guardianship.

William De Morgan (1839 – 1917), was the leading ceramicist of the Arts and Crafts movement (c. 1870 – 1910). A trained fine artist, he began his career by creating stained glass panels, before moving onto ceramics; in particular, hearth place tiles, murals, and “hollowware”.

This picture panel of forty-two tiles decorated the Lion in turquoise and cobalt, setting the creature against blue, green and yellow patterns on a white ground.

Designed by Halsey Ricardo (Fulham period).
Currently on display at the William Morris Gallery, Walthamstow E17.
