HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS WITH TAPESTRIES
Throughout the centuries regardless whether you lived in Europe or were a pilgrim just landed in America, November signaled the end of harvest and a time to enjoy the fruits of our labor.
Tapestries have, throughout the past, captured the festivities, the food, the celebration of a plentiful harvest, or even a lean year. It was a time to celebrate life and living. Tapestries are a time capsule, giving us a view of how our ancestors celebrated November.
Today, we spend a good deal of time decorating and sprucing up our homes – all in preparation for the arrival of family and friends. Rooms and furniture are cleaned, and we make decisions about the empty wall spaces where we will be gathered to celebrate living. Wall tapestries are often the natural choice to fill up large walls, or even smaller spaces. Tapestries warm the room, like an inviting log fire. They help deaden sharp sounds and create an exceptional visual experience – a place to gather and share stories, food and friendship.
Choosing the right hand woven tapestry or wall hanging is a very simple process, provided you talk to people that can help guide you in your buying decision. Color, subject and appropriateness of the right wall tapestry for the room are all considerations. It’s easy to choose and simple to install a wall hanging tapestry once you have spoken to the experts at Heirloom European Tapestries. Brighten up your home for the holidays, and enjoy your tapestry wall hanging throughout the New Year that follows.
