Tapestry is a form of weaving that produces
a textile with clearly defined and detailed images and a principal
means of creating pictures through weaving.
The tapestry technique is unique because the wefts (threads on bobbins) are woven between the fixed warp threads only as far as each colour is required, instead of running all the way across the work from selvedge to selvedge.
Tapestry wall hangings are notable for their decorative appeal, strength, durability and versatility.
In the medieval ages, the noble used tapestry to reinforce their status and extend their influence. The Burgundian dukes were the first to give tapestries the status of hard currency, using them as ransom after several disastrous battles. The tapestries became desirable luxuries and collectable object to be brought out and displayed on great occasions.
