Tapestries are textiles traditionally mounted on walls. They have been produced for as long as the craft of weaving has existed and are considered antique if woven over 100 years ago. Greeks and Romans, as well as nobles in Egypt and the Near East, enjoyed ornamental tapestries in their dwellings. Patrons often commissioned tapestries depicting iconic images and religious symbols and treasured them for a lifetime, as the pieces are durable and easily transportable. Antique tapestries were made in a range of sizes and styles, typically from materials available to artisans at the time of weaving—usually wool, silk, and linen.
