Coventry Cathedral Tapestry
Very scarce silk tapestry, some slight fading.
Woven by J & J Cash limited, weavers of Coventry.
In November 1951, Basil Spence, the architect of the new Coventry Cathedral, asked Graham Sutherland to design a tapestry to hang behind the altar. Over the course of ten years, Sutherland made studies of each part of the tapestry until he and the Cathedral Reconstruction Committee were happy with the design.
The tapestry of 'Christ in Glory' has hung in Coventry's cathedral since the building was consecrated in 1962. Standing 23 metres high and 11 metres wide, it is the largest tapestry in the world.
