19971 lingua: inglese Legat. edit. rigida in tela con sovrac. illustrata, cm 28x22, pag. 376, con 172 tavole a col. e 172 illustraz. in b.n. - A cura di Frank Ames - Third edition 1997 - Monografia sul tessuto del Kashmir che conobbe nell'800 una forte popolarità in Europa. Terza edizione arricchita di capitoli sulla creazione di tessuti di ispirazione indiana in Francia e in Inghilterra - This book tells the full story of the Kashmir shawl, how it migrated to Europe in the 1800s and how the key pattern of the boteh evolved. With its beginnings under the Mughal emperors in Kashmir, the industry continued under Afghan rule, with an explosion of new designs during the Sikh period, until it fell into decline under the rule of the Dogra Rajahs. Frank Ames, a textile dealer himself, stresses the importance of the French connection in the nineteenth century and the cross fertilisation of ideas engendered by the strong demands of European fashion whose love of the Oriental produced the rival Jacquard shawl. Changing fashions at the end of that century saw the demise of the shawl. The shawls are classified by stylistic period and an illustrated guide is included in the book to show the chronological development of designs - Perfetto stato.
