The Art of Hanging Tapestry
Monday, April 21st, 2008
The art of tapestry goes back centuries, even millenniums, as one of the first forms of portable artwork was the hanging tapestry. Kings and noblemen were able to roll up hanging tapestry works and transport them easily from one location another. They could be displayed on special occasions and then safely stored. Though the modern world favors desktop wallpaper and posters, there are still many enthusiastic collectors of tapestry. They admire the textile art for its fine weaving and original artwork. You can elegantly decorate a living room by hanging tapestries on the wall that are appropriate to the ambiance of the house: for example, scenic tapestries or abstract patterns that match the colors of the furniture. Tapestry may be a forgotten form of art by the masses but it is never under-appreciated by true art collectors.
