Tapestries are made of different fabrics. There is wool,
cotton, chenille, silk and a lot more. Some of these look good as curtains
while others are ideal to put on the wall or floor.
Regardless of what fabric you buy, stores that offer these
sell this to you by the yard. The price varies on two things, the material and
the design so you could be paying less than $10 or a little over $20. Here are
some of the designs that you will likely find when you go out shopping.
The first is the unicorn and the reason why you will find
these in stores is because it has magical and religious implications. It is
magical because it represents fidelity, desire for progeny, fidelity, love and
marriage. It is also religious because it represents Christ’s incarnation,
passion and resurrection. One of the most famous is the Lady of the Unicorn which
took more than 15,000 people to finish.
Another design is the medieval tapestry. Here, you have
knights on horseback or in battle, a coat of arms and a few religious figures.
This is best explained by the fact that each one artwork was human, personal
and spiritual.
You also have Renaissance tapestry and by looking at it, you
might even say that what you see depicted there is better than the real thing
because it produces the illusion of what life should be. The original copies of
these tapestries costs more than $200,000 a piece. It is a good thing you don’t
have to pay for that when there are replicas readily available.
