Synge, Lanto Art of Embroidery: History of Style and Technique
Woodbridge Suffolk U.K. Antique Collectors' Club 2005 1-85149-359-X / 9781851493593 Hardcover
Gives the art-historical background encompassing the most magnificent of all embroidery, the mediaeval English vestments so coveted by popes and bishops across Europe, to the domestic treasures created in more recent centuries. Baroque, rococo, neo-classical and other period characteristics are each discussed with reference to work created by children, young girls and ladies who made furniture coverings destined for posterity. The nineteenth century saw extremes of art and fashion ranging from Berlin woolwork to Art Needlework and the eclectic inspiration represented by William Morris, all leading to simpler modernist styles which evolved over the twentieth century." The author sets in political and social context the whole panoply of textiles, distinguishing between the magnificent products of professional workshops and the uniquely individual and especially charming amateur embroideries that survive today amongst the most beautiful treasures of the decorative arts. Mr. Synge's text will appeal to all who admire beautiful things, fine workmanship, good design and lovely fabrics. 350 illustrations in both color and B-W. No collectors value/pricing guide. Very fine condition, with only light shelf wear on edges, with no interior or exterior markings. Dust jacket protected by Durafold¨ cover. 352 pages. If shipped internationally, extra postage will be required.
