This fascinating book, Ornament in European Silks, was orginally published in 1899. The information in this book will still be of use for pattern and ornament designers of today and provide an insight into the history and development of silk manufacture in Europe. Contents include: The Manufacture of Silken Stuffs in Europe; Materials and Processes in Weaving Silks, Embroideries and Tapastries; Principles Which Have Been Observed in the Designing of Ornament; Silk Patterns of Sassanian, Egypto-Persian, and Byzantine Origin; Silk Patterns of Saracenic, Spanish, Sicilian, and Italian Origin; 15th Century and Early 16th Cnetury Italian Patterns; 16th Century Ottoman and Italian Patterns; 17th century and 18th Century Patterns; and Ornament in Embriodery. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
