An encyclopedia article on tapestry from the Encyclopaedia Perthensis. It gives a definition and a brief history of tapestry weaving, covering its supposed Saracen origin and the Netherlands, English, Mortlake, Paris and Gobelins manufactories. It distinguishes high-warp and low-warp tapestry, lists the main French and Flemish centres, and describes in detail the looms, tools (broach, reed, needle, flute) and working methods of each kind.
