The story of the tapestry begins in 1064. The wall tapestry is in reality a hand embroidery on linen cloth using wools of various colors. The tapestry was 70 meters long and 1/2 meters high, and was most probably hand woven in an Anglo-Saxon workshop supervised by Odeon de Conteville, Bishop of Bayeux and half brother of William the Conqueror.

Wall tapestries should be handled with great care. Jacquard woven tapestry(s) can be cleaned once or twice a year using a vacuum with an upholstery attachment, it is that easy. I have tapestries on many walls in my home. I have done nothing to them with the exception of dusting them off once a month to keep the vibrant colors looking sharp. These tapestries are amazing at how easy they are to keep up. You literally do nothing, but admire their beauty.
