Japanese Tapestry / Kimono Art -Rainbow Bamboo-
Located in Shibuya City, Tokyo
This one-of-a-kind work of art, using a traditional kimono obi, is a masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship. On a black silk ground and silver foil base, a gorgeous bamboo is embroidered by gold and silver threads and colorful silks such as red, yellow, orange, and green. Bamboo is a symbol of "healthy growth" and "steadfast loyalty" as it grows straight, strong, and spreads lush green leaves even in the cold of winter. As described in "Taketori-Monogatari" (the oldest story in Japan), it has been believed since ancient times that spiritual power resides in the joints and knots of bamboo. Thus, bamboo has been long cherished as a mysterious good-luck charm. This work evokes both the formidable power of bamboo and the elegance that overflows from the delicate use of color. In addition, although it is a traditional Japanese kimono obi...

19th Century Persian Baluch Tribal Soumak Double Saddlebag in Blue, Pale Yellow
Located in Barrington, IL
A 19th century Persian Baluch tribal soumak double saddlebag. The front of the bag has a beautiful geometric design in a green/blue color set on a yellow background. The variation in color in the green/blue design is very beautiful. The Baluch double saddlebags have a flatwoven kilim in a rich brown and rust red color. This complete saddlebag is also known as “khorjin” in Persian, or a double bag set. These bags are renowned for their beautiful colors and design which is the result of using fine wool for both pile and the foundation of the rugs and the use of organic vegetable dyes. One usually sees only one of the panels but this piece has both side panels and the banded design kilim which forms the back of the bag. The saddlebags were used by tribes to move their household items from one location to another from their seasonal moves. Dimensions: 1’ 7” x 2’ 7” Date of Manufacture: 4th Quarter of the 1800s Place of Origin: SE Persia Material: Wool on a wool foundation with organic vegetable dyes Condition: Wear consistent with age and use #Baluch Tribal Rugs #Antique Tribal Weaving #Antique Wall Textiles...

Shop Vintage Tapestries on 1stDibs

Whether you hang them behind your bed as a dazzling alternative to a headboard or over the sofa as a large-scale focal point in the living room, vintage tapestries can introduce an array of textures and colors to any space in your home.

Woven wall hangings haven’t consistently enjoyed the popularity or earned the highbrow status that other types of wall decorations have over the years, at least not since the 1970s, which was somewhat of a heyday for tapestries. Today, however, these tactile works of art are seeing a renaissance, as modern weavers are forging new paths in the medium while the demand for antique and vintage tapestries continues to grow.

“We are drawn to texture in environments, and we see tapestries as a subtle layer of soft ornament,” says Lauren Larson of the New York design duo Material Lust. Indeed, and a lot of opportunity comes along when decorating with this distinctive brand of soft ornament.

Think of wall hangings as paintings created by hand with fabric instead of oil or watercolors. If you’re not simply securing your treasure to a wall with nails, pushpins or Velcro, tapestries can be stretched over a frame, used to create a canopy in a cozy living-room corner, hung from a rod or placed inside a shadowbox. And because this kind of textile art is hundreds of years old, options abound with respect to subjects and designs.

For richly detailed depictions of landscapes and garden scenes, look to antique Chinese tapestries and Japanese tapestries. Aubusson tapestries are ornate wall hangings manufactured in central France that are also characterized by romantic portrayals of nature. For weavers of mid-century modern tapestries, as well as those working in textile arts today, the styles and subject matter are too numerous to mention, with artists exploring experimental shapes, bold colors and provocative abstract designs.

Antique, new and vintage tapestries can make a room feel warm and welcoming — find yours on 1stDibs now.
