About This Book

The catalogue surveys a museum collection of woven textiles, vestments, needlework and tapestries, describing raw materials (wool, cotton, hemp, flax, silk, gold and silver), silk types and regional weaving styles, embroidery techniques and accessories, tapestry traditions and carpets, and the iconography, liturgical, heraldic, botanical and zoological motifs found on pieces; it also treats manufacturing processes, places of production, and practical uses of the collection for historians, artists and manufacturers, explaining technical terms and offering structural classifications to guide study and design.
