Beschreibung:
"Clothes make the man, and textiles define spaces. Interior design in 18th century royal residences was decisively influenced by textiles. Throughout Europe, woven, painted, or printed silk fabric and braid, as well as silver and gold trimmings, lace and tassels determined the effect of courtly representative and private spaces. This volume assembles essays on furnishing textiles of European courtly interiors. It encourages cross-border investigations into artistic relationships that developed in the field of textile interior design"--Page 4 of cover
