Our abstract tapestries bring modern color and shape to the wall, from color-field and geometric designs such as Color Waves and Continuum to contemporary florals, trees and landscapes. You'll also find woven versions of works by Gustav Klimt, including The Kiss and the Stoclet Frieze, Van Gogh's Almond Blossom, and a series of designs by artist Don Li-Leger.
An abstract tapestry works where a print or canvas can feel flat. Because the design is woven into the fabric on a jacquard loom, the colors have depth and texture, and the piece softens sound in rooms with hard floors and bare walls. Bold, high-contrast designs suit a living room or office, while softer, blended palettes work well above a bed.
Most are made in the USA, with others woven in Belgium, France and Italy, and matching pillow covers are available for several designs. If you like painterly color, see our famous artwork tapestries and Van Gogh tapestries; for organic shapes, our floral tapestries and landscape tapestries include many modern designs. Like every tapestry we sell, they are light, won't break and roll up for an easy move, which makes them a practical alternative to large framed art. See also our full range of wall tapestries.
Abstract Tapestries FAQs
What is an abstract tapestry?
An abstract tapestry is a woven wall hanging built from color, shape and texture rather than a realistic scene. Our collection includes modern abstract designs, color fields and organic shapes, plus painterly works such as Gustav Klimt's The Kiss and Van Gogh's Almond Blossom.
Are abstract tapestries woven or printed?
Ours are woven on jacquard looms, so the design is made from colored threads and is part of the fabric. Woven color has a depth and texture that a printed canvas or fabric hanging does not, which suits bold modern designs.
Where are your abstract tapestries made?
Most of our abstract tapestries are woven in North Carolina, USA (item numbers beginning with C, M or P), and are made to order in about 2-4 weeks. Some are woven in Belgium, France or Italy (item numbers beginning with W). Each product page lists the origin and fibers.
What are abstract tapestries made of?
Most are cotton or cotton blends. Some designs add chenille or a metallic lurex thread for texture and shimmer. The exact fiber content is listed in the bullet points on each product page.
What sizes do abstract tapestries come in?
Sizes range from about 2 feet wide to more than 8 feet wide, and many designs are offered in square, vertical and horizontal versions or in several sizes. Each size is listed on the product page. For very large walls, see our extra large wall tapestries.
Is a tapestry a good alternative to framed abstract art?
Yes, for many rooms. A tapestry is light, has no glass to break and rolls up for moving. The woven fabric also softens sound in rooms with hard floors and bare walls. Most of our tapestries hang from a rod through a pocket sewn into the back.
Can I get an abstract tapestry made from my own artwork?
Yes. We weave custom tapestries in the USA from your own painting, photo or digital art. Custom orders have a $399 minimum and typically take 4-6 weeks. Request a quote on our custom tapestry page. Custom items cannot be returned.
