Resource: A Preliminary Guide to Antique Textiles, Jewelry & Folk Art
February 24, 2019
These guides have been put together with a novice student of textile art in mind.
***
Several short guide notes have been put together, each addressing a unique subject.
***
All the notes reflect my personal views, my preferences and my knowledge (which will always be limited) on the subject.
***
The notes are built on the basis of
- readings combined with remote studies of museum archived pieces
- first-hand handling of numerous antique pieces
- discussions with dealers and sometimes users of the cultural artifacts
