The Holy Grail - no border

Designed by William Morris, “The Holy Grail” is actually known as “The Arming and Departure of the Knights”. W.K. D’Arcy, commissioned it for his dining room in Stanmore Hall. “The Holy Grail” is based on Sir Thomas Malory's poem, “Le Morte d’ Arthur. In “The Holy Grail”, we see the Knights of the Round Table preparing for their immortal quest to find the Holy Grail. Sir Lancelot can be seen on the far left, receiving his shield from the lovely Guinevere.
