Bringing art into your home is a great way to make you feel good, decorate your rooms in a sophisticated style and educate your friends and family at the same time.
Tapestries woven in France using the finest masterpieces painted by the great artists is a nice textile art form to show off some beautiful works-of-art. The Metropolitan Museum of Art show cases many of these paintings in grand style. If you have never had the chance to go to New York City and step into The Met in Central Park, you can go to their internet website and take a look. It’s out of site and worth that trip on the web.
What’s so very cool is these masterpieces are taken to the loom and woven into the same art work, only using a different medium of fabrics. Cotton, wool, silk, rayon, viscose and acrylic fibers are used. Chenilles are made from these fibers, which make up some of the soft, thick and plush wall decor that can also take on double duty as a throw. Two in one with Chenilles.
Even if tapestries are not your ‘thing’, the marvelous works of art in their own right are certainly something to see. Take a gander over at The Met Museum and enjoy some of it’s treasures. It’s the humane thing to do. We say that with a smile.

It’s origin is from Belgium, as this is where the artist created this masterpiece which is now woven in France into a beautiful wall tapestry.
European tapestries are a more than nice addition to enhance any home decor. It’s just one of those works of art that should not be overlooked. Floral Tapestry, Bouquet on a Column.
