Vintage Evil Eye Tapestry Wall Hanging 61 x 150 cm

Ancient Symbol, Art Deco Soul

The Printworks Vintage Evil Eye Tapestry brings together two of the most enduring visual languages in decorative history — the protective symbolism of the evil eye and the geometric elegance of Art Deco design — into a single wall hanging that is as meaningful as it is beautiful. Measuring 61 x 150 cm (24" x 59"), it features a repeating pattern of stylised evil eye motifs set against a rich navy backdrop, with soft cream and muted blue tones that give the design a vintage quality without feeling dated.

The evil eye is one of the oldest and most widely recognised protective symbols in the world, found across Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian cultures for thousands of years. Here it is reinterpreted through an Art Deco lens — symmetrical, precise, and quietly glamorous — making it a piece that works on both a visual and a symbolic level. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and eclectic interiors where the intention is to introduce something that carries genuine meaning alongside genuine style. The woven textile surface adds texture and depth that a flat print cannot replicate, and the navy and cream palette is versatile enough to complement a wide range of interior colour schemes.

Supplied With Velvet Hanging Rope

Each tapestry comes supplied with a velvet hanging rope, so it is ready to display from the moment it arrives. A wall hook is not included — a simple picture hook or a decorative hook in antique brass, matte black, or aged bronze works well and lets you choose a finish that suits your interior. The velvet rope adds a refined finishing touch that complements the mystique of the design.

How to Use

Fix a wall hook at your chosen height, then loop the velvet hanging rope over it to suspend the tapestry. Allow enough clear wall space above and below to let the full 150 cm length breathe. Smooth out any fold lines by hanging for 24 to 48 hours, or use a handheld steamer on a low setting held at a safe distance from the fabric. Spot clean only — do not machine wash.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this tapestry?
It measures 61 cm wide by 150 cm long (24" x 59"), making it a tall portrait-format wall hanging well suited to narrow walls, alcoves, hallways, stairwells, or as a vertical statement piece in a larger room.

Does it come with everything I need to hang it?
It comes supplied with a velvet hanging rope. You will need to provide your own wall hook — a standard picture hook or a decorative hook in your preferred finish works perfectly.

What does the evil eye symbol mean?
The evil eye is one of the oldest protective symbols in the world, believed across many cultures to ward off negative energy and bring good fortune to those it watches over. It has been used as a talisman in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian traditions for thousands of years, and continues to be one of the most widely recognised symbols in contemporary design.

What colourways are available?
The tapestry is available in two colourways: the navy and cream evil eye pattern on a black background, and the same design on a natural background. The black background deepens the drama and richness of the navy; the natural background gives the piece a softer, more vintage quality.

What style of interior does this suit?
It works beautifully in eclectic, maximalist, bohemian, and Art Deco-inspired interiors. The navy and cream palette also complements coastal, Mediterranean, and globally inspired schemes. It is a piece that carries enough visual and symbolic weight to anchor a room on its own.

Can I machine wash this tapestry?
No — spot clean only. Use a damp cloth with mild detergent on any affected area and allow to air dry fully before rehanging.
