Description
Collecting Textiles is a much-needed introduction to this popular subject. Patricia Frost of Christie's, London, examines the market, taking a close look at what is available and affordable. With over 360 full-color photographs, items are put in their historical context in an informative and accessible way. From 17th-century samplers to 20th-century scarf designs by Hermes, there is something for every taste and price range.
