There are many resellers of Hines products around the world. However, given the size and diversity of our product offering it is impossible for our stockists to have everything showing at any one time. Therefore, the best place to view the entire collection of tapestries and home furnishings is at our showrooms in Oxford.

There is a growing trend for companies to be set up and run from people's homes all around the world. The internet has made it very easy for small enterprises to offer a large range and hold no stock working from their homes. The advantage of ordering from a long established reputable company such as Hines of Oxford is that you can have peace of mind that your tapestries have been sourced from genuine tapestry mills in France, Belgium and Italy and finished by hand in our workshops in Oxford to the highest standards using only the best materials. If you purchase your tapestry from an online only company you risk buying something that is of inferior quality and not finished to a high standard. In addition to a guarantee of only the best quality, if you purchase from Hines of Oxford you can be assured that your order is returnable for a full product refund within 28 days with no questions asked. If you would like to find out more about us as a company, our heritage and who we are please visit our about us page.

To care for your tapestry is very simple. Every so often you may wish to use a hand-held vacuum attachment to go over the surface of your tapestry very lightly. This will remove any dust and dirt that has landed on the tapestry whilst hanging on the wall. If you have a stain or more permanent mark present we would recommend speaking to a specialist textile cleaner. Please note that colours may run and the fabric may shrink and Hines of Oxford cannot accept any liability for any shrinkage or colour damage. We would recommend speaking to Behar Profex based in London for expert advice.

No. Our loom-woven tapestries are made in France, Belgium & Italy and are sent to our sewing workrooms in Oxford to be finished with a tapestry lining and incorporated pocket for sliding a hanging rod or concealed wooden batten through.

Hanging a tapestry is surprisingly easy to do. Please visit our How to Hang a Tapestry page for more information.

We know and understand that it can be difficult to imagine just how amazing a tapestry could look on your wall and therefore can be a difficult choice to make. We recommend visiting our PictureIt page for more information on just how helpful digital representation can be to help you purchase the perfect piece for your wall!

No. All our tapestries are completed ready to hang. If you want to do the tapestry yourself we would recommend contacting Ehrman Tapestry or Jolly Red (Stocked in stores such as Liberty London)

No. We do not value, offer an appraisal service or buy back tapestries. We recommend that you speak to a reputable auction house (preferably local to you if possible) as they will be much better placed to assist you.
