From the history of tapestries:

Although today we consider tapestries to be a European affair, their ancestry can be traced back to around 4000 years ago. The first references come from the Orient and ancient Egypt, the textile technique arrived with the Arabs in the Iberian Peninsula, and reached France around the 9th century. The earliest European tapestry was woven in Cologne in the 11th century, but France is considered the cradle of the textile craft. Behind the label tapestry, we should probably look for the dyer Jean Gobelin, who set up weaving workshops in Paris in the 15th century; these eventually gave birth to one of the oldest tapestry manufactories.
