Silk-weaving, Germany, 18th and 19th centuries, (1898). Creator: Unknown.

Silk-weaving, Germany, 18th and 19th centuries, (1898). 'Figs 1-7: Silk from Specimens in the Royal Museum at Stuttgart...The silk industry, which flourished in France as early as the 14th century received a further impetus in the 17th and still more in the 18th century by the fashion of covering the walls, and upholstering the furniture, with valuable silk fabrics. This fashion was also helpful to the still older German silk trade...Apart from traces of Chinese influence we have here the graceful swags and floral festoons, the vases, cornucopiae and torches, the charming and dainty lightness of which are so delightful in the style of Louis XVI, while in the frequent garlands, palms and shields we notice a foreshadowing of the style of the first Republic'. Plate 90 from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898].
