Die Farbe Henna The Color of Henna

Product Description

On their travels in the Anti-Atlas mountains of southern Morocco, Annette and Marcel Korolnik-Andersch discovered a form of textile design which has hitherto been all but overlooked: textiles painted with henna dye. The collectors have conducted extensive studies in the field and have collated all extant henna-painted textiles. All articles in the book explore the various factors which influenced the designs and repertoire of patterns unique to this extinct textile tradition. Accompanying the presentation of these textiles are fascinating photographs. This is the first comprehensive publication of this startling discovery. With 160 colour illustrations, it represents a magnificent visual celebration of a stunning art form that is enigmatically expressive and captivating. Text in English and German

Elizabethan Inheritance

Product Description

collection of sixteenth and seventeenth century textile furnishings. That so much should have survived in such good condition is little short of miraculous, and is due in part to the formidable Countess of Shrewsbury, better known as Bess of Hardwick, who built the house in the 1590s, and in her will instructed her heirs to '[sic] have speciall care and regard to p'serve the same from all manner of wett, mothe and other hurte or spoyle thereof'. In this lavishly illustrated and authoritative introduction to the collection, Santina Levey places the textiles in their day-to-day context. Using account books and other archival material, she describes the origins of the different types of furnishing, whether bought ready-made or put together and decorated by embroiderers. Inventories, letters, and personal reminiscences are used to chart the later history of the house and the inevitable alterations that four hundred years of use wrought on the original furnishings. With its glossary and bibliography, the book is an invaluable source of information for anyone interested in learning how Bess's 'Bedding hangings and other furniture of household stuffe [sic]' were created and how some survived the centuries. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Embroidered Georgian Pictures (Shire Library)

Meticulously embroidered pictures that could be framed and displayed formed a part of a girl's education through the Goergian period in Britain (1714-1830). This book shows the variety of subjects and techniques and also glances at the work produced in American schools. As well as schoolgirls, outstanding women like Miss Morritt, Mrs Knowles and Miss Linwood produced large embroidered pictures to simulate paintings, greatly admired at the time, but now totally neglected. Pictorial needlework also adored upholstery, chair seats, screens and wallhangings. This book will be a useful handbook for collectors, museum curators and antique dealers, and an inspiration to the modern needlewoman.
