What Makes Fine Tapestry?
Saturday, April 26th, 2008
What makes fine tapestry in terms of artistic design and craftsmanship? The best quality tapestry has both qualities. Fine tapestry has been designed by a talented artist that has either recreated a portrait with brilliant accuracy, or one that has designed an abstract creation as meaningful as it is imaginative. A craftsman will work from the blueprint the artist has drawn and craft the design by hand. This process might involve Jacquard-weaving, which is a versatile type of weaving that sees the raising of each warp thread independently of the others. Finally, the highest quality tapestries are the ones that are hand finished by skilled craftsmen, not manufacturing lines. Tapestries may be designed as pillows, sheets or wall hangings. If the quality is there, the customer immediately feels the difference.
