Belgian Tapestry

Belgian Tapestries are world famous and popular due to the excellent craftsmanship that goes into their construction. Tapestry weaving is an ancient technique. Tapestries for interiors were very popular with the upper classes in the late middle ages. Rich tapestry owners liked large-scale scenes of aristocratic life, such as hunts, or improving biblical stories or allegories. Tapestries are marvelous expressions of rich history, artistic designs, and creativity. They make the interior designing of your home complete and add the ultimate touch of class to your home. The most popular among Belgian tapestries are the Bayeux tapestries and the Beatrix tapestries.

The term tapestry [or tapetum in Latin documents] originally meant a wall hanging, including woven tapestry. The term tapestry is often applied today to needlepoint or other stitched textile. True tapestry is woven.
