Seller's Description:
VG. Glossy illustrated dustjacket, gray cloth-bound boards with gilt lettering on cover and spine. (7) 8-352 pp. 331 color plates. The book gives the art-historical background encompassing the most magnificent of all embroidery, the mediaeval English vestments so coveted by popes and bishops across Europe, to the domestic treasures created in more recent centuries. Baroque, rococo, neo-classical and other period characteristics are each discussed with reference to work created by children, young girls and ladies who made furniture coverings destined for posterity. The nineteenth century saw extremes of art and fashion ranging from Berlin woolwork to Art Needlework and the eclectic inspiration represented by William Morris, all leading to simpler modernist styles which evolved over the twentieth century." "The author sets in political and social context the whole panoply of textiles, distinguishing between the magnificent products of professional workshops and the uniquely individual and especially charming amateur embroideries that survive today amongst the most beautiful treasures of the decorative arts. Mr. Synge's text will appeal to all who admire beautiful things, fine workmanship, good design and lovely fabrics.
