Tapestry  is a form of textile art, traditionally woven by hand on a loom. Tapestry is weft-faced weaving, in which all the warp threads are hidden in the completed work, unlike cloth weaving where both the warp and the weft threads may be visible. In tapestry weaving, weft yarns are typically discontinuous; the artisan interlaces each coloured weft back and forth in its own small pattern area. 
It is a plain weft-faced weave having weft threads of different colors worked over portions of the warp to form the design.
Most weavers use a natural warp thread, such as wool, linen or cotton. The weft threads are usually wool or cotton but may include silk, gold, silver, or other alternatives.
Museums, castles, French and international collectors have trusted us for nearly 30 years.
 One of the most famous French castles, Chenonceau Castle, located in the Loire Valley, rich in history and textile heritage, has chosen the Jabert Gallery to acquire an exceptional tapestry from Flanders "known as "Choux Leaves" dating from 1520 - 1530.
Also the Museum of Natural History of Poland in Warsaw has just bought a rare 16th century Brussels tapestry to enrich its textile collection.
To this end, we invite you to visit our gallery, where we can share with you our passion for old tapestries and give you all the advice you need.

Contemporary Tapestry
Contemporary artists create cardboard boxes to be made in tapestry.
We then speak of cardboard artists who, drawing on a commission or personal work, have their works executed by liciers from tapestry factories like those of Aubusson or independent workshops.
Among the best known, we can cite Pierre Saint-Paul, Jean Picart le Doux, Le Corbusier, Alexander Calder, Salvador Dali, Jacques Lagrange, Enrico Accatino, Marc Petit, Nicolas de Staël, Serge Poliakoff, Victor Vasarely, Charles Lapicque, Alfred Manessier, Jean Le Moal, Henri-Georges Adam, Édouard Pignon, Gustave Singier, Jean Labellie, Claude Lagoutte, Nicolas Carrega, André Lanskoy, Alberto Magnelli, Michel Seuphor, Ossip Zadkine, Anne Aknin, Olivier Debré, André Brasilier and, above all, Jean Lurçat and Dom Robert who greatly participated in the renewal of tapestry in the second half of the 20th century.
But some artists like Josep Grau-Garriga have been able to make the tapestry evolve towards another world: from a figurative tapestry it has gone to a relief and abstract tapestry until going towards a tapestry-sculpture (or three-dimensional tapestry) . Grau-Garriga learned tapestry in 1958 from Jean Lurçat. He considered that to be a true work of art, the tapestry had to be created and woven by the artist himself, as was the case for André Barreau (creator-lissier).
At the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels and at the Académie des Beaux-Arts et des Arts Décoratifs in Tournai, there is still a tapestry workshop where student-artists can enjoy high-lice and low-lice crafts. 
For their own creation.

 The Oriental Rug has long occupied a central place in many homes, and Persian, Caucasian and Anatolien carpets are often thought to be the most beautiful of all. With their fascinating patterns, these unique carpets have enchanted many people over the years, and it’s easy to understand why. The variations are endless and the craftsmanship behind them is superb, making these rugs a focal point for your home.
The rug was a necessary item against harsh winters. Since then, it has
become a mode of artistic expression as a result of the freedom allowed by the choice
of bright colours and patterns used in their manufacture. Trade secrets are passed on
from generation to generation. Craftsmen used insects, plants, roots, bark and other
materials as a source of inspiration.
From the 16th century onwards, carpet-making developed into an art form in its own
right.
The passion for textiles and antique rugs was born almost 100 years ago at the Jabert Gallery, a family of enthusiasts and collectors passionate about the history and cultures that make up today's world.
Numerous museums and rug collectors have trusted our gallery with rare pieces. One of the latest acquisitions from the IMA Museum in Paris has honored us with the purchase of an outstanding piece dating from the 18th century.
Galerie Jabert has a large stock of high quality rug in various sizes.
So don't hesitate to ask us for the category of rug you would like and we will guarantee to embellish your home as soon as possible!
