Medieval Tapestries are the creation of European weavers who have been weaving these textiles for centuries. Medieval tapestries date back to the renaissance and Arts and Crafts periods. Medieval tapestries have been woven on a plush fabric for hundreds of years in diverse cultures. Both ancient Egyptians and the Incas buried their dead in tapestry woven clothing. Important civic buildings of the Greek Empire, including the Parthenon, had walls covered by them. However it was the French medieval weavers who brought the craft to fruition. Medieval tapestries make excellent wall hangings and are unique and decorative gifts.
