As tapestries are made from fabric, you will have to take extra precaution to preserve them. When you are hanging the tapestry, make sure that you use a rod so that the weight is allocated to the entire piece of fabric. You do not want to add any more weight to the tapestry, as that can affect the warp fibers. Only place a rod at the top and do not add any weight in the bottom. Moreover, the place you intend to hang it must be one where direct sunlight can not reach. This is because the tapestry's fibers can fade and the fabric may become weak when it comes in contact with direct sunlight all the time. You will discover that a large number of tapestries, that were made hundred of years back, still exist because they were properly cared for.
