  • Hand-made tapestry art. Hand-made gobelins and carpets.


    The carpets, tapestry and gobelins were used to decorate the walls of castles in the ancient times. Simultaneously they served not only for the decoration but as well for the warming of the premises. Lords, knights, clergy highly valued the beauty of tapestry. Tapestry's destiny hasn't changed much since those times and till our days.

    But the times of Middle Ages - castles and knighthoods - has passed. But the tapestry, its style and creation manner has survived, technology has developed and became even more sophisticated, refined and delicate, quality and quantity of subtle and unique themes has remarkably increased.

    The time of hand making for all types of tapestry, as a rule, were quite extensive. Only the highest and richest classes of society were able to order hand mad(e) personal tapestry. But with time going by the duration of production and the price are changing, becoming more affordable, therefore a contingent of potential customers for hand made tapestry is growing.
