My Greek mother collected classical French and English antiques with a special affinity for 16th century inspired tapestries and classicism.
I would dream about the renaissance scenes and the earthen and jewel tones of the woven figures which brought a sense of warmth to our home. Historically, the tapestry was equally as revered as painting and hanging tapestries found a practical usage in supplying an actual layer of insulation to early dwellings.
