When people think about decorating their walls, the first thing that usually comes to mind would be a painting or decorative mirror of sorts. People also opt to hang sconces, family portraits, and shelving where standing objects can be displayed. Another type of wall art that is making a comeback from past centuries is the wall hanging, also known as tapestry. There are a form of textile art and are either hand woven or woven on a loom. Usually, cotton and yarn are used to make wall hangings, though the more intricate ones are known to be made of silk and even gold and silver fibres.
It were first known to have existed during the ancient times, used by both the ancient Egyptian and Greek civilizations for a variety of purposes. They were also commonly found in medieval European castles and churches. Once depicting mainly mythological and biblical scenes, very few people other than nobles owned a wall hanging until later in the nineteenth century. Today, the range of wall art hanging themes and styles is completely limitless, and just about anyone can afford one of these wall arts for their home. Below are some of the different types of wall art available in tapestry form.
