For lovers of home décor, tapestries are an ideal choice to lighten up a dull corner, to add beauty and grandeur to a room or simply bring forth a piece of history into their living rooms. For the latter option medieval tapestries are the perfect choice. Medieval tapestries are those, which have replications of medieval artistry and a piece of history attached to them such as these http://www.european-wall-tapestries.com/store/catalog/Medieval_page_1_c_2.html. Such tapestries bring through the canvas a depiction of a scene or an artwork made famous by a medieval artist.

Such tapestries go back to the renaissance and Arts and Crafts times. Medieval tapestries were intricately woven on fine fabrics primarily wool, for hundreds of years by different races and cultures. Egyptians as well as the Incas buried their dead in tapestries. The Greeks covered their walls like those of the Parthenon, with them. But the credit for excelling in this work goes to the French medieval weavers who with their exquisite work gave the tapestry a new dimension.

One of the highlights of medieval tapestry history is their work in the realm of Unicorn tapestries, rightly since the unicorn has always been a source of marvel and beauty, to the world. The medieval artisans in their attempt at capturing this magical creature have presented it in great depths and pictorial excellence apart from giving it a symbolic interpretation.

Scene in Plattsburgh - Style & Substance

The first element of believing that the shop will transform you is the artistry displayed and changed weekly in the windows. Barbara combines clothes, home décor and art into a beautiful tapestry of color. Barbara has resurrected the lost art of window shopping!

One of her customers describes the shop as, “Sophisticated with color and balance, Cache Elegant is for people with taste, whether it’s modern, country, or vintage - it appeals to the sophisticated consumer; whatever period they admire.” To us at style & substance, sophisticated is not snobby or intimidating; rather, sophisticated simply means attention to beauty and admiring the small details that makes something spectacular.

We regularly stop into Cache Elegant, and are always brilliantly overwhelmed by Barbara’s style throughout the shop. We would add, “hip, classic, eclectic, shabby chic, something for everyone”. It is an experience in color, arrangement and beauty. Barbara’s knowledge, enthusiasm and friendly approachability make the shopping experience a series of “ooohs” and “aaahhhs”. Her “cache” is arranged to inspire her customers into redecorating, restyling, starting a project or finding their “conversation piece”. Some real hits we saw this past week were a small counter top butcher block which is perfect for the appetizer portion of your entertaining and a ‘to die for’ wrought iron and glass coffee table…with prices that are steals. And this spring, making your outdoor space inviting and attractive is easy with Cache Elegant!
