The techniques of the tapestry repertoire have survived into the twenty-first century in spite of their painstaking and slow methods, the meticulous dyeing and mixing of colors, and the cost of the very special materials.
Tapestry, of whatever culture and style, has retained its strong appeal as an enhancer of large architectural spaces and of domestic architecture of all periods.
As a decorative art, it still has the power to astonish, charm and delight.
