tapestries (wall hangings, <coverings and hangings for surface elements>, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Heavy, woven textiles used as wall hangings, curtains, upholstery, or to hang from windows or balconies. Tapestries are characterized by decoration that may include ornamental or pictorial subjects; they often have details that are painted or embroidered. They are usually of wool and hand-woven on a tapestry loom by a process that differs from cloth-weaving in that the weft travels only to the warp at the edge of a particular color or pattern in the design, rather traveling from edge to edge of the entire piece of fabric. Various techniques are used in mixing and overlaying colors to create shading and patterns. The term also refers to machine-woven imitations of hand-made hangings.

Additional Notes:
Arabic ..... المنسوجات الثقيلة المنسوجة المستخدمة كمعلقات للحوائط أو ستائر أو تنجيد أو للتعليق على النوافذ أو الشرفات. تتميز المفروشات بالزخارف التي قد تشتمل على مواضيع زينة أو تصويرية؛ غالبًا ما تحتوي على تفاصيل مرسومة أو مطرزة. عادة ما تكون من الصوف ويتم نسجها يدويًا على نول نسيج بعملية تختلف عن نسج القماش حيث تنتقل اللحمة فقط إلى السداة عند حافة لون أو نمط معين في التصميم، بدلاً من الانتقال من حافة إلى حافة من قطعة القماش بأكملها. يتم استخدام تقنيات مختلفة في مزج الألوان وتراكبها لإنشاء تظليل وأنماط. يشير المصطلح أيضًا إلى التقليد المنسوج آليًا للتعليقات المصنوعة يدويًا. 
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar zwaar, geweven textiel dat als wandbekleding, gordijn of meubelbekleding wordt gebruikt, of vanaf een raam of balkon omlaag hangt. Kenmerkend voor tapisserieën is het decoratieve karakter, met ornamentele of picturale thema's; vaak zijn ze voorzien van geschilderde of geborduurde details. Meestal zijn tapisserieën van wol en met de hand geweven op een weefgetouw, met een procedé dat afwijkt van het normale textielweven: de inslag reikt slechts over een gedeelte van de schering, namelijk tot de rand van een bepaalde kleur of patroon in het ontwerp, en dus niet van rand tot rand. Voor het mengen en combineren van kleuren van schaduwpartijen en patronen worden diverse technieken gebruikt. De term verwijst tevens naar machinaal vervaardigde imitaties van met de hand gemaakte wandkleden. 
Portuguese ..... Tecidos pesados usados como tapeçarias, cortinas, estofados ou para pendurar em janelas ou varandas. As tapeçarias são caracterizadas por uma decoração que pode incluir temas ornamentais ou pictóricos; eles geralmente têm detalhes que são pintados ou bordados. Eles são geralmente de lã e tecidos à mão em um tear de tapeçaria por um processo que difere da tecelagem de tecido, pois a trama viaja apenas para a urdidura na borda de uma cor ou padrão específico no desenho, em vez de viajar de ponta a ponta de toda a peça de tecido. Várias técnicas são usadas na mistura e sobreposição de cores para criar sombras e padrões. O termo também se refere a imitações tecidas à máquina de cortinas feitas à mão.  
Spanish ..... Referentes a tejidos gruesos usados como colgaduras de murallas, cortinas, tapicería de pared, o colgaduras de ventanas o balcones. Tapices caracterizados por decoración que puede incluir temas ornamentales o pictóricos; a menudo tienen detalles pintados o bordados. Normalmente son de lana o tejidos a mano en un telar de tapicería por un proceso que se diferencia del tejido de tela en que la trama va sólo a la urdiembre en el borde de un color o modelo particular en el diseño, más bien que viaja desde un borde a otro de la pieza completa de tela. Varias técnicas son usadas mezclando y sobreponiendo colores para crear sombras y diseños. El término también se refiere a colgantes producidos a máquina que imitan los hechos a mano.
