Cover for tapestry - a guarantee of comfort in your home
The homeland of a tapestry is France of the 17th century, where the brothersTapestries opened the royal manufactory with the products named in their honor. At that time the material was woven on machine tools. As a blank, a frame was taken with stretched longitudinal threads, onto which a pattern was applied with transverse threads. The picture was drawn on cardboard. Not everyone could make a tapestry. Behind the machine was to be an experienced artist. The material used was flax. Tapestries wove different thicknesses. More dense hanged on the wall, and thin served as blankets.
Today, the tapestry cover is no longer so laborious in manufacturing as several centuries ago. The fabric is produced on an industrial scale and is quite acceptable.
The tapestry cover does not have a monophonic appearance. As the picture used: plant themes, geometric patterns, abstraction and the world of fauna. One of the photographs shows a tapestry cover with images of Indian elephants. Such textiles are best used for decoration of the interior in the oriental style.
By the way, a tapestry is not only covers, but also pictures. To create paintings, more expensive and high-quality materials are used.
In our time tapestries are produced mainlyfrom natural materials. To thread them, use cotton and linen threads. But most often they are combined with artificial materials. For example, an acrylic thread is used to make the tapestry cover more durable.
A special interlacing of threads ensures the strength of the material - it is not so easy to break it. This quality is especially important for pet lovers. Tapestry is not wiped, it is very wear-resistant.
The choice of bedspreads in our time is simply huge. To cover the furniture today use materials such as wool, silk, acrylic, natural and artificial fur. The combination of threads of different composition allows you to create a chenille, velor, microfiber. One of the most popular is the tapestry veil, the price of which is quite low. Chenille is a combination of cotton with a synthetic thread. It is soft due to cotton fibers and has good wear resistance due to synthetics. Microglial (or microfiber) can be either fully synthetic or mixed. It is very nice to the touch, almost smooth, with a short or long pile.
This is not the whole list of fabrics for furniture. When choosing bedspreads for your bed or sofa, you should consider the overall design of the dwelling, your own preferences and material characteristics.
