Textile Classics -- front flap information

"Textile Classics is a unique and definitive guide to the history, styles and uses of furnishing fabrics. The past decade has seen an explosion of interest in soft furnishings, drapery, and upholstery. So overwhelming is the array of fabrics now available that the task of selecting the right one can be daunting. Textile Classics sorts the florals from the plains, the brocades from the tussah twills. In beautiful full-color photographs, specially taken for the book, more than 1000 classic fabrics are shown, with accompanying text that helps you choose the right fabric for the right setting.
Textile Classics documents in detail the style and form of furnishing fabrics from 16th century embroideries to the most up-to-date modern designs. It combines visual inspiration with practical analysis, suggesting ways to use new fabrics from leading manufacturers, and showing how they can be decorative or functional or both. Also illustrated are ideas for using fabrics of the past in present-day interiors.
For each type of fabric, Textile Classics gives an historical overview, presents a portfolio if detailed close-ups revealing the intricacies of printed or woven cloths, and finally suggests effective or novel ways for presenting them within interiors.
Textile Classics is both a much-needed reference book and an inspiring guide for anyone involved in designing, selecting or choosing fabrics for the home."
