Description
Tudor Textiles is a detailed study of the extravagant beauty and impact of textiles on the royal court, fashion, and taste during the Tudor period. In 16th-century Europe, fine textiles were a symbol of wealth and status, and their production and display played a significant role in the Tudor court's ceremonies and decor. This spectacularly illustrated book explores the world of Tudor textiles, from the ascendance of Henry VII in 1485 to the death of Elizabeth I in 1603. It examines the role of textiles in the context of religious and political upheavals, as well as the expanding world of global trade. The book also delves into the significance of the Field of the Cloth of Gold, a magnificent two-week festival held in 1520. Published in association with Historic Royal Palaces, Tudor Textiles remains a powerful projection of Tudor society's wealth, taste, and power, even half a millennium later.
