Traditional Tapestries were established in 1991 by husband and wife team, Colin and Catherine.  Their workshops and office complex utilise a large converted barn nestling in the Cornish countryside. They are a family business employing a local skilled workforce.

All of the tapestry panels and fabrics are imported directly from Master Flemish Weavers, who use modern electronic Jacquard looms utilising the latest computer technology to create the finest high-quality designs. Many designs are reproduced from ancient medieval tapestries, although several new creations are inspired by contemporary art forms. The unfinished tapestry panels are then sent to the UK where they are made into elegant wall tapestries, cushions and bags.

Measures approx. 133cm x 93cm and has a tab on the back to hang using a pole or a rod (sold separately).
