These stories capture the post-World War II era’s free spirit that briefly coincided with economic prosperity and open borders. With over 200 colour illustrations, the book shows how the indigenous designs and motifs popularised in the US and Europe by these textile travellers can now be found in anything from haute couture to high-end interior design to mass-marketed bedding, tableware and clothing. The dealers and collectors who have spent their lives seeking these complex pieces of the past have intriguing stories to tell and collections of some of the finest textiles of their kind in the world. Taken together, their stories are an enlightening guide to understanding how we connect to the past, and how textiles connect the world.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 280mmItem Length: 240mmAuthor: Sheila FrumanGenre: Architecture & AntiquesItem Weight: 1523gItem Width: 25mmISBN-10: 1898113874Release Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
