Oriental & Asian wall hangings |
 In the Orient, the woven arts have existed for thousands of years, and began with silk tapestries discovered in the Qing dynasty. Throughout China and India, tapestries were regarded as signs of affluence and valuable pieces of home décor. They were heavily traded with Europe as far as Rome during the 5th through the 12th centuries along the famous ‘Silk Road’, resulting in European tapestries reflecting Asian themes. Our selection of Asian wall hangings includes images of Buddha, Asian urns, elephant tapestries, abstract art, exotic scenes, and other subjects important in Asian, Chinese and Japanese culture. For instance the influence of China and Japan on tapestry art in France and other countries in Europe from the 17th century has influenced Western art in Europe. Enjoy the exotic feel these Oriental wall hangings and tapestries will give to any home décor. |
