The Paisley Shawl: And the Men Who Produced it
ISBN: 9780902664807 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Epoch of the Shawl Trade in Paisley, writes the author of this interesting volume, is now rounded off. Like a flower it came up, blossomed, and decayed. Even thus, in Paisley, does the poetic imagination weave garlands of blooming thoughts round textile fabrics. The book, however, is description and history, not an effusion of creative art. The shawls are now rarities sought for by collectors. To such persons this volume must prove uncommonly valuable as explaining, both by pictures and by written descriptions, the technical excellences of garments that must always rank among the most...

Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster
ISBN: 9780143113706 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Once luxury was available only to the rarefied and aristocratic world of old money and royalty. It offered a history of tradition, superior quality, and a pampered buying experience.
