| The History of Tapestries |
| The tapestry
is an ancient art. In Greek mythology, Penelope awaited her husband Ulysses while weaving
tapestries. Since the XVI century, the gentry loved to have historic or religious scenes
woven by the great c craftsmen of their time. The tapestries were not only decorative, but
played a practical role in covering the walls of huge drafty castles. Medieval
cartoon-painters and weavers produced the very same masterpieces that are shown on our web
site. |
| Recently a
renaissance in the art of tapestry-making has taken place in America. A strong public
desire has grown for something that would lend an esthetic quality to modern functional
living. The tapestry is a sumptuous decoration, a way of taking one's dream with one. It
enlarges the dwelling by its infinity - it can bring into the home nature and legend. |
