Detailed Description
Tapestry is a form of textile art, traditionally woven on a loom. It is composed of two sets of interlaced threads, the warp and the weft, which are perpendicular to each other. The weft is woven in and out of the warp to create a fabric. Tapestries are often heavy and can be used as wall hangings or furniture coverings. Tapestry is believed to have originated in the Middle East during the Bronze Age. It spread to Europe during the Renaissance, where it was used to decorate the homes of the wealthy. In the 18th century, tapestries were often used as upholstery for furniture. Today, tapestries are still made by hand, but they are also produced by machine. Some famous tapestries include the Bayeux Tapestry, which depicts the Norman Conquest of England, and the Gobelins Tapestry, which depicts the life of Louis XIV. Tapestries can also be found in the form of rugs and carpets.
