furniture gobelin
Tapestry is definitely out. Tapestry is not used for furniture.
The type of fabric imitating tapestry but manufactured in factories (not purely manually) and used for various purposes (not only furniture) is called gobelin.
To make it absolutely clear, you should use "furniture gobelin"

gobelin upholstery fabric
Note that "tapestry" is not wrong, at least in the U.S., where the term can mean an imitation of tapestry, used chiefly for upholstery. So, "gobelin tapestry" is another possibility. The term above, however, is specific to your context.
