How do I hang heavy tapestries?

Heavy tapestries require proper weight distribution using a concealed wooden batten or heavy-duty brass rod. Attaching the textile securely protects the structure from stretching along the upper edge.

Are these pieces protected behind glass?

Many framed textiles and miniature rugs feature glass protection to shield fragile silk threads from dust and atmospheric damage. Larger tapestries and wall hangings generally remain open to the air.

What periods do these artworks cover?

The selection spans from the sixteenth century through to the early twentieth century. European tapestries often date to the sixteen-hundreds, while Asian embroideries and portraits largely represent the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

How do I clean antique silk wall art?
