All the tapestries are fully lined and finished with a rod pocket or a series of loops through which you can place a decorative hanging rod. All the metal rods come with mounting hardware and instructions for mounting. Sold separately. Tapestries hung in the flat-to-wall ‘European Style’ provide a 1/8 inch air space between the wall and your tapestry .. You will never experience mildew or mold on tapestries hung flat- to- the- wall, as mildew/mold requires a continuous wet condition (such as a sauna or a leaking cellar wall ). This is the way tapestries have been hung in European homes for over 800 years. Hung in normal rooms today - on stone, drywall, sheet rock, brick, adobe, wood paneling etc, your textile will ‘breathe’ like all textiles have for centuries. If your room is large and cold, scale it down by hanging a series of smaller tapestries together. This creates the illusion of a smaller space and can bring a large, blank wall down in size. Hanging small tapestries together will also add warmth to your room. When creating this illusion be sure to choose tapestries of a similar theme. If a room is small and needs something to make it feel less cramped, consider choosing a tapestry that will bring a breath of fresh air into your living space.
