What is it made of?

Tapestry - a woven fabric, which appeared in France in the XII century. Initially, it was made only by one manufactory, and this matter was only for the decoration of the royal palace. Its difference was that the basis of the ornament lay plot drawing. The tapestry was a whole picture.

Now this carpet fabric is used everywhere. But a modern tapestry can have a different ornament, and is not made only in the form of paintings.

Many often confuse jacquard and tapestry. They are quite similar and even produced on the same machines. The main difference is the number of colors of threads that are used in the manufacture. So, in jacquard fabric there are only ten of them, and in the production of tapestry much more.
