Loire Valley - Wand Cheverny

This chenille tapestry is one of a series depicting the châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Built by Count Henri de Hurault between 1604 and 1634 Cheverny can be found near the city of Blois in the Loire valley. The tapestry above shows the front façade opening onto its impressive grounds, with the Bourre stone of the château glistening in the afternoon sun. This effect can still be seen at Cheverny, due to the fact that Bourre lightens with age, making for an unusually fresh looking exterior despite its age. 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.
