The unique and sophisticated art of Wall
tapestries has been around since the Middle Ages.
Hanging wall tapestries
are a perfect example of practical art. Castle walls were large
and drafty, so these pieces of woven artwork were
used as insulation while also serving to please the eye. The
natural beauty of wall tapestries
made them a logical choice to serve these two kingly purposes.
Many wall tapestries woven in the Middle Ages are
now considered invaluable
pieces of textile art and hang in museums across the world. Reproductions of these famous
tapestries can be seen and purchased online. Some include
the Bayeux Tapestry, William Morris designs, the
Lady with Unicorn
series now at the Cluny Museum and works by Michelangelo.
Not all tapestry wall hangings are from the
Middle Ages or deal with mythical creatures. Some are quite
modern. You'll find many fine jacquard woven European designs depicting
scenes from Venice and France. Also, florals woven to
look like contemporary paintings and Van Gogh's Sunflowers. Pick your style, there's a
wall
tapestry for you.
