Tapestry

A tapestry is a form of textile art, traditionally woven on a vertical loom, consisting of two sets of interwoven threads, namely the warp and the weft. Tapestry can be made from various fibres such as wool, cotton, silk, or synthetic materials. It often features intricate designs, patterns, or pictorial representations, creating a visually stunning piece of artwork. Tapestries have been used for centuries for both decorative and practical purposes. Historically, they adorned the walls of castles, palaces, and churches, serving as insulation and decoration simultaneously. They were also used to depict historical events, mythological stories, or scenes from daily life. In contemporary times, tapestries continue to be valued for their aesthetic appeal and versatility. They are used as decorative wall hangings in homes, offices, and public spaces, adding texture, warmth, and character to any environment. Additionally, tapestries are often appreciated as collectable art pieces, with modern artists exploring innovative techniques and themes within this ancient medium.
