John Piper was one of Britain's most distinguished and prolific artists of the twentieth century. Working in many different styles across his career, he was a painter and print maker, designing stained glass windows, theatre and opera sets, ceramics and textiles. Piper's textile designs embodied his love of Britain's art and architecture, landscapes, and abstract and religious imagery. He created designs notably for a number of tapestries and alter pieces, and importantly for Lots 231 - 234, furnishing fabrics for Arthur Sanderson & Sons Ltd.

Sanderson's Victorian warehouse in Chiswick is now the headquarters of Chiswick Auctions.
