Mont Saint Michel
This chenille
tapestry shows Mont Saint Michel, the famous Benedictine abbey perched on its small islet off the coast of northern France. It was built after the Bishop of Avranches had a vision in which the Archangel Michael appeared to him and commanded him to build a church in 708. The tapestry shows the abbey perched on its rocky islet, sitting amongst treacherous sandbanks, largely cutoff from the mainland by powerful tides between Normandy and Brittany. Over time it has enjoyed a number of uses beyond the spiritual, at one point even acting as a prison. This tapestry is unlined and has a rod sleeve for ease of hanging.
Chenille is a popular fabric and has many uses. As a soft and supple material it can be used for a variety of purposes, including;
tapestries and wall-hangings, throws, bed covers, upholstery and curtains. Chenille can be difficult to manufacture and takes a great deal of care in its production. The thread is produced by weaving fabric into tightly twisted yarns which are then combined with shorter yarns to provide a pile that protrudes in all directions, giving the final material its distinctive chenille feel and flexibility. These are then used in the normal way to produce the finished fabric. Many fabrics can be used in this process although these are typically: cotton, silk, wool, viscose, polypropylene or acrylic.
