Medieval Tapestries

Not only were medieval tapestries works of courtly elegance with rich fabrics, they also had a practical use, providing insulation for castle walls, covering openings as hangers, or as a tapestry throw and giving privacy around beds. Kings and nobles took their family tapestry on their travels from castle to castle for reasons of comfort and prestige. These tapestries were symbols as much as they were items for practical use.
