Comfort & Style in Classic Wall Decor

With the myriad of choices available in the online and offline décor market these days, it can be quite overwhelming to choose just one particular wall decor type or design to suit your personal style and needs.

Anything you can think of has been made the subject of numerous decorative wall arts all over the world. If you are seriously thinking of using a tapestry to decorate or adorn your house, and it is your fist time to do so, it is suggested that you narrow down your selection to classic wall tapestries or classic wall décor.

Classic wall decorations, in the form of woven works of art, are highly recommended for people who are buying this form of art for the very first time.

The reason for this is that classic wall decors have, as the name implies, classic, timeless, and universal themes and designs that will never go out of style and will stand the test of time. Examples of such themes and designs include human emotions (such as love or sorrow), human nature, the five senses, tragedy, death and the like.

Time periods and eras are also considered classic, timeless, and universal in nature. These time periods include the middle ages or the medieval time period, the Renaissance, the neo-classical age, and the Baroque era, just to mention a few.

Woven works of art with a medieval theme feature events that took place during the medieval times, hunting scenes, unicorns, royalty and noblemen. Woven wall art with Renaissance-inspired themes, on the other hand, feature subjects inspired by romance, myths, knights and the aristocracy, and Verdure.

Meanwhile, woven wall pieces from the neo-classical and Baroque time periods feature works commissioned by kings, popes and clergymen, as well as members of the European nobility, sieges and battle scenes, historical and religious events or accounts, and the lives and times of historical figures and famous personalities.

Some of the most well-known pieces under the umbrella of classic wall tapestries include the Bayeux Tapestry, The Hunts of Maximilian, The Lady and the Unicorn series (also known as La Dame à la licorne), The Hunt of the Unicorn series, the works designed by the master-artist Raphael for the Sistine Chapel, the Valois series, the Manufacture Royale des Tapisseries de la Couronne (which was originally made for Louis XIV of France), History of the King, and Triumph of the Gods, among others.
