FINE TAPESTRIES

Jacquard tapestries are woven on old looms which use a semi-mechanical process invented by one Joseph Jacquard in 1805. The Jacquard process revolutionized the weaving industry, allowing many people with good, but not necessarily royal incomes, to purchase their own tapestry wall hangings.

Tapestry designs beautifully accent traditional, classic and contemporary spaces. Themes range from American heritage, landscapes, renaissance, and medieval designs to mythological, floral, pastoral and folk art. William Morris tapestries, the Lady with the Unicorn tapestries, the Bayeux tapestry designs and other classic wall hanging mille-fleur designs are favored for their French, Belgium and Italian heritage.
