Tapestry is a decorative textures of wool or silk, hand crafted used especially as decoration on house walls or furniture. In other words, tapestry is a textile surface built with a decorative purpose and utilitarian functions. Compared with upholstery, which is a simple textile work, with purpose of covering furniture pieces, tapestry is a work of art.

Tapestry is well know from Antiquity mostly represented by Chinese silk texture (T’ang dynasty textures, Egypt and antic Greek textures comes as a prove). Tapestry flourished in civilizations greatest moments, through out the years and they reflected civilization’s aesthetics inclinations.

In the Middle Ages, tapestry had a purely utilitarian function. Tapestries were originally designed to protect medieval rooms from damp and cold weather or to cover austere walls of big castles or to insulate big rooms in more comfortable quarters. In these early tapestries, isolated figures or compact groups stood out against a background that was generally plain or embellished with plants motifs or flowers, those are called mille fleurs.

Tapestry became beside painting, sculpture and architectures one of the major visual art forms. .
