Bibliophile Cats Tapestry

The association of cats with libraries dates to antiquity, when libraries in temples of ancient Egypt had cats-in-residence for rodent control. This charming cotton tapestry reflects the whimsical spirit of early 20th-century illustrations, featuring feline-friendly book titles that add a playful touch. Cats have long held a place in literary history, from being muses to authors such as Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain to symbolising mystery and independence in countless stories. This piece captures their enduring link to the world of books and the quiet, contemplative charm of a cosy library corner.
