Hanging and Care of Wall Hangings

Once the tapestry has been produced the final touches are applied. The tapestry is lined, a label giving its title, date and number and the Museum where the original can be found is sewn on the back. The master weavers then sign the tapestry and rings or bars are attached. Your wall art is now completely ready to be hung and requires no special care.
