Tapestry, the pervasive works of art throughout history

If you are looking for home decors that will best compliment in your home, tapestry is one of the elegant ways of styling your home.

It is composed of two sets of interlaced threads, those running parallel to the length and those parallel to the width the warp threads are set up under tension on a loom, and the weft thread is passed back and forth across part or all of the warps. Tapestry is weft-faced weaving, in which all the warp threads are hidden in the completed work, unlike cloth weaving where both the warp and the weft threads may be visible

The tapestry is one of the most pervasive works of art throughout historical Europe and elsewhere. Many churches and cathedrals had a number of ornate tapestries depicting religious scenes, and kings and nobility would often commission a tapestry to tell the story of a great battle or event. Because the tapestry may be removed from a wall and rolled up for easy transport, in many circumstances they were preferred to murals or other static forms of art which were tied to the architecture. In a cathedral or other religious setting this mobility meant the tapestry could be kept stored away to be brought out only for special occasions and ceremonies, helping to add to its perceived importance.
