Whether woven for a wall hanging, chair, towel or handbag, tapestries are having a trendy moment. Tapestries’ weft and woven roots came to life during the 15th century with skilled Flemish artisans tending the loom, and they have withstood the test of time. Now en fashion again, there are both antique collectables and modern interpretations in the ready. And in a fraction of the price: ” In 1515 the Vatican spent over five times as much for 10 tapestries to line the walls of the Sistine Chapel than Michelangelo was paid three years before because of his ceiling fresco. From the latest kitchen accessories to sculptures, it is possible to find a simple way to integrate some into your home and life. — Lani from Mon Petit Chou Chou
