European Woven FAQs
Where are your European tapestries woven?
Our European tapestries are woven in Belgium, France and Italy. Item numbers that begin with W are European-woven, and each product page names the country. European wall tapestries in this collection are fully lined with a rod pocket in back. The collection also includes our tapestry pillow covers, woven in Belgium and France, and a small number of table runners.
Why do European-woven tapestries cost more?
European tapestries cost more for several reasons. Production costs in Europe are higher, some designs contain wool, they are typically thicker, and they are imported, which adds shipping and customs costs before they reach us. Many shoppers choose them for their weight and richer texture, while our USA-woven tapestries offer a lower-priced, mostly cotton alternative.
How quickly do European tapestries ship?
Many European tapestries are in stock in the USA and ship within 5 business days. If a design is not in stock here, it must come from Europe first, which adds several weeks. Most orders ship via UPS, sometimes FedEx or USPS. Shipping time frames do not include transit time, and tracking is emailed when your order ships.
What materials are European tapestries made of?
Fiber content varies by design. Most European tapestries blend cotton with rayon and polyester, some are 100% cotton or soft cotton chenille, and others include wool. Our wool wall tapestries are woven in Europe. The exact fiber content is listed on each product page, so check the listing for the design you like.

Do I pay customs duties on a European tapestry?
Not if you are in the USA. All of our products ship from the USA, so US customers do not pay import duties on European tapestries. International orders may owe import duties and taxes charged by the destination country, which are paid by the recipient. We offer free shipping worldwide on every order.
