The King and the Medieval Tapestry.
Throughout the Middle Ages, the medieval tapestry was a popular wall hanging much desired by any king. Many kings would have a medieval tapestry commissioned for them.The depiction of kings in the medieval tapestry is always a proud one. The only time a king or lord is shown in defeat in a wall hanging is when he was the enemy. Tapestry weavers strove to please their king by showing them always in glory. A medieval tapestry is a wonderful piece of textile art for your home. Having one of these kingly wall hangings brings back the glory of the Middle Ages.
The ideals set forth in the
medieval
tapestry are still worthy of our attention today. These wall
hangings spoke of chivalry and knightliness. They depicted scenes
of upholding the code of chivalry and defeat of its enemies. This
style of tapestry is perhaps one of the most beautiful textile art forms
ever created.
