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.

Questions About Tapestries

  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024
    What tapestries symbolize is largely a matter of individual interpretation. Because early examples graced the walls of palaces and grand estates, many people associate them with wealth, royalty, power and prestige. Individual tapestries may symbolize different themes based on the images and symbols that they display. For example, art historians believe the medieval Lady and the Unicorn tapestries represent the five human senses: sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of tapestries.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    Tapestries are made out of a wide range of materials. Wool is arguably the most commonly used to produce the threads for weaving tapestries. In some cases, silk or metallic threads will be mixed in with wool for added luster. Some weavers opt for other materials, such as cellulose and cotton. Find a selection of tapestries on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    Historians are not completely sure where tapestries originated. Ancient literature from Rome, Greece and other civilizations does not specifically mention tapestries, but that doesn't mean that they didn't exist. We do know that the Ancient Egyptians did produce and utilize tapestries, as examples have been discovered in the tombs of Thutmose IV and Tutankhamen. The word tapestry wasn't coined until the 15th century, and it originated in England. Find a wide variety of tapestries on 1stDibs.
