Madonna della Pappa Italian Tapestry Wall Hanging:

If like me, you are a fan of tapestries, you will love the Madonna della Pappa Italian Tapestry. My love for tapestries goes way back to when I would see these wonderful wall hangings in a local antique shop. Tapestries are great and just like paintings, they tell story and what is quite unique about them is that these images and colors are woven into materials. They are perhaps the most complicated form of art if you ask me and without a doubt deserve more recognition. That said, I have several in my home and this obviously indicates my love for these cloth woven art form. I try to get only the best to provide a contrast in my interior decor, which is why you will find this Madonna della Pappa Italian Tapestry Wall Hanging set on my living room’s background.

Italian tapestry is known for depicting mainly religious works and the Madonna della Pappa is one of them. The story behind this artwork can be traced back to the apocryphal story that depicted the flight into Egypt. This Holy Family was fleeing the famous first born massacre that was ordered by King Herod who was the then Bethlehem ruler. This is therefore, picture of the Virgin holding her Son. Enough about the story since there is not much to say anyways. You are probably wondering what cloth or material this piece of tapestry is made using and you will be glad to know that the composition is a blend of cotton and viscose. This makes for a strong material and you can bet that this is one wall hanging that will be with you for the longest time. The makers of this tapestry did not just pay attention to the material and artwork, but its finish as well. The tapestry is backed with a lining and tunnel as well, which makes it easier for you to hang the tapestry anywhere without worrying about tearing.

Not much is said about the artist behind the Madonna della Pappa, probably because it has been massively reproduced, but what you are guaranteed by the Save on Tapestries that this wall hanging was indeed woven in Italy and is not one of those mass produced Chinese tapestries that are increasingly becoming popular in the market. In fact, if you don’t like the tapestryor for one reason or another or doubt its quality, you have a 30 day money back guarantee. This just goes to show that the sellers are sure of what they are selling you. Needless to say, I am thrilled with my tapestry.

The tapestry measures at 23” by 26” which is the height and width respectively and I have to admit that the price is quite fair at on $87.00.

Pros: For starters, the quality is superb and unlike other tapestries that I bought in the past, I have yet to see it fade even though it gets a little hit of direct sunlight on my wall. The price is also quite competitive and the fact that I got free shipping with my purchase is also reason to celebrate. The tapestry was well packaged and arrived right on time.

Cons: It would have been nice if more information on the tapestry would have been provided. Art is all about the story and though I get many compliments on this tapestry, most people are eager to hear the story and well. All I have to tell them the little information I gave you above. The artist behind the art should have also been provided because as we all know everyone wants to know the artist.

Review Title: Lilies In Urn Tapestry

Title: Lilies In Urn Tapestry

Review Body: I was browsing around on the internet last month – not having any special goal in mind when I came upon this website called “SaveOnTapestry.com. I have a few tapestries that I have collected, hanging on the walls in my living room. I have been thinking about getting a new one to hang in the family room. Wow, surprise, surprise – they were having a sale.

I began to browse through the pages of different tapestries not really finding anything that look like it might go in my family room. Suddenly, I came upon one tapestry called “Lilies in Urn” and it was just like a picture of an urn full of lilies. It was woven in North America of 100 percent cotton and backed with lining and had a tunnel for ease in hanging. This tapestry covered an area of height 35 inches and 53 inches wide. I quickly ran with my tape to measure the area where I want to hang another tapestry – and it was almost the exact size.

It was also on sale and by using a certain code I would get 25 percent off this tapestry as the sale was ending soon. I am one who does not believe in everything lining up the way this situation did – this was all too good to be true. So, I now have a new tapestry hanging in my family room.

I have never purchased any tapestry online before. There are just some things – I thought – that you needed to see and feel in person before you buy and tapestries are one of these. I have collected them for years, but my collection has been carefully put together. It certainly hasn’t been any quick decision as this one was. It must have been fated to be as it fits the space beautifully, is a stunning work of art, and was on sale. I worried about it the whole time I was waiting for it to be delivered, but that was just wastage of time as it was perfect for that area.

“Lilies in an Urn” has mostly a dark background with this pale pink urn with lilies in it. The lilies almost seem 3D as they sort of look as if they are not really lying on the tapestry. One would have to see it to know what I really mean. I am so glad I purchased it because it is a unique piece of artwork.

I also got free shipping on it and the company has a 30-day money back guarantee if for some reason you are not satisfied with the artwork. I actually should not have worried as I had a win-win situation with this tapestry.

Since this turned out so well, I won’t hesitate the next time that I see something unique and different in the way of tapestry on the internet.

Pros: Perfect size, on sale, free shipping, 30-day guarantee besides being a remarkable piece of artwork.

Cons: None

Website Experience: The website saveontapestries.com is not some stunning, wonderfully designed website – it is just a plain and very simple one.

It also has a search box on the left side where you can search by artist, size, shape, color, price and keywords that then lead to different menu options with more choices on them. If you have some idea of what you are looking for these menus should navigate you right to the selections that match. The checkout is encrypted, so your credit card and personal information is protected. Overall it is a website that makes for a pleasant shopping experience.

Amount Paid: $107.00 sale price

Purchase Date: February 15, 2013

Final Notes: It was a quick decision and I don’t usually make decisions on anything that quickly, but for only $107, I would have been crazy to have passed it up since I loved the artwork and could have sent it back for a refund if it didn’t look good when it arrived. I think I got a good deal.
