Two panels "Sol" and "Mars" by William Morris Company, designed by Sir
Edward Burne-Jones, purchased as a set of 7 by The Franklin Collection in the 1970's.
The other 5 panels went to Jimmy Page, of LED ZEPPLIN,
owner of one of William Morris' former homes.
UPDATE: Mr. Page sold his panels to Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber via auction, so this is the last remaining panel available for purchase. The hope is to get it a new home where it can be on display for the public, as is befitting such an historically significant piece of art.
Panels found by Franklin in the late 1970's were:
Venus, Morning Star, Evening Star, Luna, Jupiter and the 2 best ones
he kept, Mars and Sol. |
