Tapestry has been a favorite wall decoration for many centuries, especially in the old countries of Europe. Recently, however, Americans have also begun to rediscover the beauty of tapestry wall art. While it is true that some types of tapestry can be purchased through interior design sources, that isn’t the only resource available. Many fabric stores now routinely carry tapestry fabrics that are suitable for framing, to be hung directly on the wall, or to be hung by a tapestry bar. While, in the traditional sense, tapestry refers to a specific type of woven fabric, the word has been altered to encompass virtually any type of decorative wall pieces; no matter the type of material.
