The art of embroidery has been practised for thousands of years. In the West, traditions have been at the mercy of trade and fashion, but in other regions, embroidery continues to be rooted in ancient beliefs and superstitions.

This beautifully illustrated book examines in detail the fascinating symbolism of the motifs and patterns that give life to these traditional textiles from around the world.

The global range is as remarkable as the variety of materials and motifs on display. Each textile – whether Chinese court insignia, Japanese kimono, Sumatran sarong, Turkish napkin, Ghanaian banner, Native American pouch or Peruvian Nasca textile, among others – bears its own distinctive designs.

Complete with:

  -  glossary
  -  dictionary of stitches
  -  information on public collections
  -  how to collect textiles
  – this is an unrivalled guide for anyone interested in textiles, costume or craft.

Like weaving, embroidery consists of the use of strands of thread for the decoration of fabrics. But unlike in weaving, in which the fabric itself is created, in embroidery the decoration is applied to an already existing surface by use of a needle. The technique is therefore especially suited for the application of ornaments and borders. Embroidery contains a rich collection of such ornaments and borders, with imagery from the natural world, such as animals, leaves and flowers, but also religious and heraldic symbols and some complete embroidered alphabets.

Covering the entire golden age from 1100 to 1530 and spanning all regions, here are over one hundred windows and panels in astonishing new detail. Nothing significant is omitted and the most important monuments, including the cathedrals of Canterbury, Wells and Lincoln, as well as York Minster and many others are covered in extra depth.

Stained glass is one of the glories of medieval art, and much of the finest glass can be found in England. Intensely moving in its beauty, startling in its colours and fascinating in its imagery, it has for centuries captivated visitors to churches and cathedrals.
