Owning an Antique Tapestry
Many tapestries from the past are quite famous. The Middle Ages, in particular, transformed tapestries from home décor items to works of art. Antique tapestry works such as the Lady and the Unicorn series, Rocco works, and the Bayeux Tapestry are well known among tapestry experts and art connoisseurs. Historians proclaim that the golden age of tapestry weaving artwork occurred during the medieval era, when kings and queens ruled the land and medieval legends were born. During this time period of sweeping sagas, tapestries became works of art that recorded dramatic and memorable scenes. Today it is very difficult to find an antique tapestry for sale. Most are in private collections or included in permanent museum collections. The individual who is privileged to own one of these historic heirloom treasures is quite fortunate!
