Discover the tapestry mousepad featuring the Fountain of Neptune of Herculaneum, made with the exquisite Jacquard weaving technique. A unique accessory that combines art and functionality, perfect for lovers of Roman history.

The Jacquard weaving is an advanced weaving technique that allows for the creation of complex and detailed designs directly in the fabric, without the need for subsequent prints or embroideries. It is named after Joseph-Marie Jacquard, who in 1804 invented a revolutionary mechanical loom capable of individually controlling each thread of the warp, thus enabling the creation of intricate patterns with different colors and textures.

How does Jacquard weaving work?

1. Thread Control: Unlike traditional looms, the Jacquard loom uses a system of punched cards (now digitized) to independently lift each warp thread, allowing for the creation of complex patterns.
2. Greater detail: Thanks to this technology, it is possible to obtain images, patterns, and decorative motifs directly woven into the fabric, without the need for additional applications.
3. High-quality materials: Jacquard fabrics can be made from cotton, wool, silk, or synthetic fibers, making them resistant and durable over time.
4. Relief effect: The intertwining of the threads creates a slight three-dimensional effect, giving depth and value to the design.

Why choose a Jacquard fabric product?

• Duration over time: The designs do not fade with washing or wear, as they are part of the fabric's structure.
• Refined aesthetics: The quality and accuracy of the details make it perfect for art and design items.
• Uniqueness: Each piece has a handcrafted appearance, making it a true piece of furniture or distinctive accessory.

The Neptune Fountain Tapestry Mousepad uses this technique to faithfully reproduce the artistic details of the famous fountain of Herculaneum, transforming an everyday object into a small masterpiece of history and design.
