Hanging a Tapestry

- In general, tapestries look best when hung 4"-6" away from the wall.- Best when matching hanging rod, finials & drapery rings with clips are used.- Ideal viewing distance is 8'-12'. This allows best appreciation of the color, mirror work, bead work & embroidered patterns.- Any creases in the tapestry can be removed by careful pressing in non-steam mode on the reverse side.
