Textiles embody the diversity, simplicity, and somtimes complexity of the Arts and Crafts Movement more clearly than any other material or medium. This lavishly illustrated volume will delight the eye and become the standard reference on these treasures from our past. The striking designs and the interiors in which they are pictured will provide inspiration for decorators, designers, collectors, and needlecrafters alike.
