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.
