Wagner, is hailed as an important work that reveal much new knowledge on the development of weaving techniques across the centuries from China through to Europe. The key to the book's almost forensic investigation of its subject was the author himself, a Danish damask weaver with a lifetime's practical experience in his craft and an intimate knowledge of weaving techniques that allowed him to decipher, experiment and interpret original techniques from small remnants of surviving material. /---/ CONTENTS: Part I: Patterned Weaves of Han China; Part II: Patterned Weaves of Early Western Asia; Part III: Patterned Weaves of the Mediterranean Region; Part IV: The Eclectic Pattern Weaves of Tang China; Part V: Weaving Implements.
