TAPESTRY
Some kind of tapestry was in use occasionally by the Saxons and Normans, frequently used over doorways or to divide one part of a chamber from another. Real tapestry, however, was not made until the 14th Century, although the looms of Arras were famous for two hundred years before this time for making fine cloths for church vestments and wearing apparel. Tapestry as an English manufacture produced in sufficient quantty to afford opportunities for its use by but a few, can hardly be said to have existed in England prior to the 17th Century.
