Yes, an arras is a type of tapestry, specifically a woven textile that often features intricate designs and narratives. Traditionally, arrases were used to decorate walls and were made from wool or silk, showcasing scenes from mythology, history, or nature. They originated in Arras, France, in the Middle Ages and became highly prized decorative art pieces in both European homes and royal residences.

What is a diffrenent word for tapestry?

Tapestries were often known by the name of their city or factory of origin. In Hamlet, Polonius hides (and is stabbed) behind the Arras; Arras is a town in northern France famous for tapestry production. Similarly, one might speak of a fine Gobelins, if the tapestry was made at the Royal (now State) factory in Paris. Notes: 1: Polonius could hide behind the Arras because tapestries were hung about a foot from the wall, to keep them out of the rising damp. 2: Note that tapestry is woven, not stitched. Other decorative fabrics, such as petit point or Berlin work, are sometimes mistakenly referred to as tapestry.
