An Embroidered Tapestry is a decorative textile created by stitching designs onto a woven fabric rather than weaving the image directly into the cloth. Often depicting landscapes, floral arrangements, biblical scenes or pastoral subjects, embroidered tapestries were popular during the Victorian period as decorative wall hangings, upholstery panels and firescreens. Antique examples are valued for their detailed craftsmanship and decorative appeal. *Related Terms*\ Canvas Work, Needlepoint, Tapestry, Textile, Upholstery, Wall Hanging.
