Over the years many clients have expressed a wish to use unfinished tapestry panels for to make their own cushions (or take to a soft furnishing specialist) as too have I. We believe that we have sourced the very best quality tapestries available and have selected designs that will suit the types of furniture that we restore and sell. Visit our new Belgian Tapestry page We will be adding further, more traditional designs to our range in the coming months.
