Heirloom Custom Tapestries


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:

  • tapestry size
  • design complexity (design fees, when applicable, vary accordingly)
  • number of colors
  • wool or wool/silk combination

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.
