Tapestries are a form of textile art and they have been hanging around since the 3rd Century BC in Greece. They were popular in medieval times because they could be easily transported from castle to castle. Ancient tapestries not only served a decorative purpose, they were practical as well -- large ones would line the walls of the castle, providing insulation during winter months.
