Are tapestries woven or embroidered?
1 Answer
By definition, tapestries are woven textiles, not embroidered fabrics. However, you will sometimes see people refer to embroidered wall hangings as tapestries because both types of decorative textiles function as wall décor. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of tapestries.
