"pOR centuries many artists with reputations for 
achievement in painting identified themselves 
with tapestry-making, contributing designs which 
are now the treasured pieces in museums. 
This heritage of design and the high standard 
of workmanship which prevailed among the hand- 
weavers of tapestries is a constant inspiration to 
us today. In recent years the machine-looms have 
been so perfected that the tapestries now being 
woven are comparable in beauty and quality if 
not in antiquity to hand-woven tapestries. 
And where the latter, because of their great 
rarity and consequent value, can be seen only in 
museums and private collections, the beautiful 
tapestries being woven today are available to a 
far wider group. 
The Schumacher collection includes skillful 
reproductions of antique panels, and exquisite 
designs woven by the yard, suitable for either 
wall hangings or upholstering. These tapestries 
are distinguished for their beauty of coloring, 
their design interest and their adaptability to 
modern interior decoration. 
Your own decorator or upholsterer will make 
arrangements for you to see the Schumacher tap¬ 
estries as well as other beautiful decorative fabrics. 
He will also arrange the purchase for you.
