Two-page Portuguese encyclopedia entry on tapestry (tapeçaria). It surveys the history of tapestry from antiquity and the Middle Ages through the Flemish, Italian, English and French manufactories (Arras, Mortlake, Beauvais, Gobelins), then gives a technical section distinguishing high-warp, low-warp and needlepoint tapestry. The needlepoint part names the main stitches on single and Penelope canvas, with numbered stitch diagrams, and covers materials, frames and needles.
