Tapestries
UnLimited designs and manufactures all
of its products on Cape Cod. Two types of fabric are used-
Imported Italian Tapestry and Decorative Cotton Fabric
Genuine Imported Italian Tapestry
We at
Tapestries UnLimited
use only the finest tapestry imported from Italy. It is manufactured on
Jacquard Looms, which were designed to create beautiful and intricate picture
scenes as far back as the late 1700s. Although we are continually looking
for different motifs, our Vineyard and Seaside Collections represent fine
Jacquard weaving. Italian tapestry is also especially durable and ages
extremely well. Over the years, the tapestry will remain brilliant in
color while usage softens the material. It is 80% cotton and 20% polyester
so it can be machine washed & dried on cool gentle.
Jacquard Loom Weaving - Joseph-Marie Jacquard's
(1732-1834) loom design allowed for the weaving of figured patterns by means of
punched
cards. The punch card concept was refined and later employed in the development of
the first calculators, pioneered by Charles
Babbage (1792-1871). Today's computers can trace their roots to
Joseph-Marie Jacquard's concept of punch cards and picture weaving.
Decorative
Cotton Fabric
The Decorative
Cotton Fabric
is made of fine cotton material and features bold designs & colors in Seaside
Designs. Backings are carefully chosen to be color coordinated. It
is perfect for the summer months on Cape Cod or any other area where bright
colorations will add to the fun.
