From a series of tiles based on Chaucer's Legend of Goode Wimmen.This panel is one of two acquired by the Museum from 1 Palace Green, the London house of George Howard, the Earl of Carlisle. As tiles, Chaucer's Legend of Goode Wimmen first appeared on a fireplace in Sandroyd, the house designed by Philip Webb for the painter J.R. Spencer Stanhope in 1860 and furnished thereafter. The skilfully decoarted framing Scroll-pattern tiles with special border painted for the Palace Green commission are the only know examples painted at Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. All other examples of the pattern, and many variations, are Dutch-made.
