Gulliver’s Travels $14.98 Ebulliently imaginative and far more cleverly presented than you would expect from a TV miniseries, this satirical adventure succeeds by never pandering to the lowest common denominator. Closely based on Jonathan Swift’s 1726 classic, it is enhanced by dazzling special effects from Jim Henson Productions and a superb, multi-ethnic cast.

Wall Tapestry When You Want a Classic
There are many ways to decorate the walls of a room. A good coat of the right paint color, wall sconce lighting, a decorative clock, an artful mirror or some sort of metal wall art or wall sculptures will bring out personality in a room. I have used all of these techniques and more in the past when decorating for myself or for others asking for suggestions.
Out of all these forms of wall art there is one decorative wall item that always come to mind when I think of ways to bring true elegance to a room. The only art form that has the ability to take a room to the next level and beyond. No matter what particular theme is presented in a room, there is a wall tapestry to match the theme with pristine beauty.
Tapestries have been around for many centuries, but this form of art never grows old. In the beginning tapestries were all hand woven. Because of this, tapestries were only for the financially well off. Down through the centuries, with the invention of machines that do the work of the hand made versions, tapestries have become affordable for all. Because of modern day mass production, with quality never before seen, you have a virtually limitless choice when it comes to styles, themes, colors and sizes.
So you have a good understanding of your options when searching for the perfect classic tapestry to add to the ambiance of a room in your home, I will provide you with information on, for the most part, what is available to you when pursuing the classic tapestry of your dreams.
In order to do this, I will go over Types, Art Styles and Subject Matter that wall tapestries are available in. Once I present you with each of these topics. I will give you examples of what is available in each category.
I’m going to start out with types of tapestries available. You have Chenille, Metallic, Oversized, Sets, Textured, Trimmed and Wool to choose from.
• Chenille is a soft tufted cord of silk, cotton, or worsted used in weaving quality tapestries.
• Metallic tapestries are woven using cotton yarn with gold or silver accents.
• Oversized tapestries are woven using pure cotton yarn.
• Sets are tapestries that are sold in pairs.
• Textured tapestries are pure cotton yarn and finished in a textured accent such as leathurized or quilted.
• Trimmed tapestries are finished with either glass beading, tassels or fringed tassels.
• Wool tapestries are actually a blend of wool and cotton yarns.
Next we will take a look at Art Styles. The choices in Art Styles you have are Country Art, Fine Art and Vintage Art.
• Country Art features domestic and barnyard animals in quaint country scenes. You will also find country cupboards, snowmen, Santa Clause, old farm scenes and animals of the forest and woodlands.
• Fine Art tapestries are recreations of famous paintings by artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Gustav Klimt, Paul Ranson, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Edgar Degas, Georges Seurat, Leonardo da Vinci, Claude Monet, Sandro Botticelli, Jan Vermeer, Robert Duncan and others in which their artwork has been recreated on wall tapestries.
• Vintage Art tapestries recreations of early 20th century poster art woven into a wall tapestry. These poster tapestries range from extravagant theater costumes to fine wine poster advertisements, from Rosie the Riveter to famous French champagne poster advertisements woven into wall tapestries.
Classic wall tapestries add charm and elegance to the room in which they hang. Adding one of these tapestries to a room in your home will give your environment a feel of tranquil serenity.
