Summary: Tapestry is a form of textile art created by a needle and thread. Tapestries are made by hand or on a loom and range in size and form. Historically, tapestries were huge and decorated halls of castles and churches in Europe. They were elegant and lavish, often being sewn of silk, wool and even gold thread. These days, tapestries are still used as wall decor, but they also adorn smaller objects such as pillows or small framed tapestry work.
