European Wall Tapestries :: Medieval
Medieval tapestries were woven on plush fabrics for hundreds of years by diverse cultures.Many ancient cultures buried their dead in tapestry woven clothing. Important civic buildings of the Greek Empire, including the Parthenon, had walls covered with tapestries. These tapestries were symbols as much as they were items for practical use. Not only were they works of medieval art with rich fabrics, they also had a practical use, providing insulation for castle walls, covering openings as hangers, and giving privacy around beds. Kings and nobles took their family tapestry on their travels from castle to castle for reasons of comfort and prestige. These wall hangings are great unique home decor.
