Bio Tapestries Adorn New Orleans Homes

Bio Tapestries Adorn New Orleans Homes

Tapestries are timeless pieces of wall art that have graced countless of stately homes throughout the centuries, including many New Orleans residents. Today, they are more attractive than ever and can enhance any design style whether it’s transitional or traditional.

Tapestries can be purchased through antique shops, flea markets or at upscale furnishing stores. Their cost can range from affordable to priceless based upon its age and beauty.

Today, I've feature Belien Mills, Weavers of Fine Art™. They are the only producers of European quality tapestries based in the U.S. They control the entire process from design through production and distribution.

The Belien factory custom-weave each individual piece with a combination of mercerized cotton and rayon yarns. Their typical larger tapestry will have over 22 miles of yarn in the heirloom quality piece.

Most pieces are available in multiple sizes to accommodate the broadest array of decorating options. The tapestry designs from Belien Mills originate from oil paintings, often by noted artists and recognizable by many.

The images are digitized and the artwork transferred to a computer-aided-design system, which determines weaves or colors for each piece. Purchasing a tapestry is an affordable alternative to wall art that will bring timeless beauty to any New Orleans décor.
