The orange gatherers

This chenille tapestry is from an original painting by English artist John William Waterhouse (1849 - 1917). The piece shows women collecting oranges in a mediterranean grove. Painted in 1890 it is typical of the artists love of Italy, and demonstrates his skills in accurately capturing the ambience of a scene and a skill in composition reminiscent of the Pre-Raphaelite's. 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.
