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.
I offer an exciting collection that can be enjoyed by everyone. There is something for every setting and for every level of skill.
I do hope you will find exactly what you are looking for, perhaps even a complete departure from what you had in mind. Whatever you choose, I hope to hear from you and wish you many hours of delightful pleasure!
