Tudor Rose.

Taken from the medieval carvings (C1380.) found upon the Misericords and supporters from within the choir stalls of Worcester Cathedral. This small but interesting carving shows what is commonly known as a Tudor Rose. However the rose was carved around AD 1380 and the Tudor period did not start until AD 1485 a further 105 years later. There are many depictions of roses throughout the Cathedrals of England with slight variations and many of them said to be the Tudor Rose. Therefore it can be said that there are many a claim to be the genuine Tudor Rose but it must be taken on ones own interpretation of these roses, which is the most genuine.

 The carving has survived through centuries without virtually any damage and remains in pristine condition. This reproduction has been taken from the original carving and captures all the fine detail produced by the master craftsmen that carved this piece over 600 years ago. Designed to hang upon a wall, this reproduction makes a stunning display and interesting focal point, comes with a hanging fixture and a product label.
