Baroque and Rococo Silks

Trama

This is the first monograph to be devoted to the beautiful silk materials of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries--the richly brocaded dress materials, the splendid damasks, the rustling taffetas and lustrings, and the grand velvets used for furnishing the great houses of the day.It has long been realized that the patterns on these silks were changed each year but it was only quite recently that it became possible to plot the changes.
