handles
textiles of exceptional merit, from all cultures, covering
a time span of 2000 years and has done so for the past three
decades. We have been fortunate to place textiles, and
collections of textiles, in major museums and institutions
throughout the world.
However, a great passion of the company is to seduce new collectors,
hence offering affordable tempters. The
priority in selection is always visual, supported at all levels
by thorough research.
The
company services include: Valuation, Conservation, Research and Photography. We have added a short glossary to
the website and also a brief list of books. We consider
these books useful but also a good read, no manuals for
knot counters.
Apologies again for being slow to update the site, but please feel free to contact us, many things don't make it to the site. We are also very happy to search things out for you.
Very best wishes.
