Since 1793
Edward The Confessor & Duke Harold
This striking piece in the 1066 Bayeux Tapestry inspired series features Edward the Confessor in conversation with Harold Godwinson.
The scene closely resembles one of the opening images on the Bayeux Tapestry itself and features an incredible amount of hand-painted detail.
Our Battle of Hastings Collection has been conceived to mirror the narrative style of the Bayeux Tapestry, telling the story of one of the country’s most famous battles through a series of figures and vignettes. The palette is also tightly controlled and focuses on colours similar to those in the Bayeux Tapestry itself, so comprises Chestnut Brown, Russet, soft Charcoal Grey, Dark Green, Coral and Black.
To mark the arrival of the Bayeux Tapestry on british Shores we have designed a sixth figure for this ongoing series. So a striking Saxon Shield Wall now sits along side our other characters featuring the pivotal events of the Battle of Hastings. Click the links below to see the other figures.
