If
nothing transforms a room like a tapestry,
it is even truer when that tapestry is custom
designed and custom woven specifically for
you in 100% New Zealand Wool!
Our
custom design experts work directly with
you to capture just the right subject in
exactly the right colors and size for your
room décor.
For
over a decade, we have worked with individual
home owners, and commercial projects from
show homes to hotels, restaurants, offices,
clubs, galleries, churches and synagogues.
Custom
Tapestry themes include:
Family
and Heraldry crests and armorials.
We’ll research your family name for
a historically accurate crest. Or we can
create a new crest borrowing from your local
or national traditions. One exception: we
do not weave favorite portraits of people
or pets.
Country
and Estate Scenes. We can capture a
woven record of your property as it is now,
or one of your dreams.
Special
Themes. We love to weave special, personal
scenes ranging from far away Provence, Tuscany
and St Petersburg to good old American lighthouses,
marine scenes, Civil War events and our
early colonial history. Our tapestries make
any occasion grand.
Church
and Religious Themes. Here again, we
can design and weave exactly what you want.
We can work from pictures you supply, or
research appropriate grand old tapestries
that have adorned churches, synagogues,
private chapels, castles and other places
of worship over the centuries.
College,
University and Club Logos. Tournament
and commemorative tapestries make a unique
and unforgettable statement.
Company
and Commercial Interiors. Hotels, offices,
board and reception rooms are a natural
habitat for grand and elegant tapestries
depicting milestone events, history, corporate
image or other inspirational themes.
How
We Work Together
Our
studio starts by listening carefully to
what you want: we add to that our expert
advice, and then develop a preliminary design
which we review and refine together, incorporating
each and every detail faithfully. After
you approve the design, we begin the weaving
process, ever mindful of your wishes and
maintaining an on-going dialogue between
you, ourselves and the weavers. The result
is a very unique, one-of-a-kind Heirloom
Tapestry which you and future generations
will come to treasure.
Finally
a few words about cost and size:
Generally,
the cost will depend on:
Regarding
size: the best size/price efficiencies are
realized when we weave no smaller than 5’
x 6’ (60” x 72”). We can,
of course, weave smaller, but the cost will
be in this minimum size range.
Heirloom weaves custom tapestries for all kinds of installations, including residential homes, hotels, churches, synagogues, theatres, restaurants and theme parks. Our custom tapestries let you capture a one-off expression of your favorite coat-of-arms or antique tapestry designs. These custom tapestries are hand woven in pure wool to add an extra special "heirloom" quality to any room. Your custom tapestry will meet all the criteria that a specific design can accommodate, including optimal design size, colors and format. Heirloom design specialists work closely with you on custom tapestries, from initial design considerations through to finished installation advice. We have woven custom tapestries for large, clear-story spaces, and can accommodate even curved walls and specific niches. Added advantages for custom tapestries include significant sound absorption to improve acoustics, particularly in large rooms and foyers. Our custom tapestries are lined with a quality cotton backing and sleeve to protect it for generations. Heirlooms' custom tapestries represent the ultimate in style, grace and grandeur, providing a personal touch that creates a unique atmosphere to complement any decor, including period and contemporary designs. Heirloom European wall tapestries commemorate those big milestone events, history, corporate image and other inspirational themes in a way that is equal to the occasion.
