Antique textiles<\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”25″][vc_column_text]Over the years my interest in textiles has increased. I feel blessed to be working in such an interesting and varied field.
\nThere is so much to learn!
\nAt the fairs we meet two interesting groups of people- decorators and collectors. We love working with decorators approaching textiles asking: what does this textile do to the room I am working on? How can I best complement the furniture? Does this textile enhance or create a mood? Decorators look at textiles in terms of colour, texture, effect and presentation. Coming from Germany to England for our fairs made us realize tremendous cultural differences. The way our living rooms look is still influenced by the starkness prevailing in Bauhaus architecture in spite of the fact that weavings were an important product of the movement. On the contrary, we find a greater willingness to live with textiles, even though British contemporary design has turned away from the heavily chintzed interiors of the past.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”25″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#f2efe9″ scene_position=”center” top_padding=”5%” bottom_padding=”5%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

Ikeep being astonished that the many, many cultures on the 5 continents of the earth, seem each to find one or several or many enthusiasts collecting their artefacts!<\/p>\n

Textiles are basic necessities for humans, they cover us,warm and protect our bodies; we can express ourselves through the textiles we wear, show our wealth and status, signify our age and sex, our professions and whether we are married or single. Our textiles indicate our tribal identity and religion.<\/p>\n

Each of these uses has found their collectors. As a dealer I am privileged to dip into this rich field and share my passion and my finds with my clients. A great many good pieces have passed through my hands into collections. This is really satisfying.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”25″][vc_column_text]\n

Textiles are a basic human need<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The weavers\u00b4lives were hard in the hot and dry climates of Asia. Dusty brown was the dominant colour in the summer months. the vibrant rugs these women wove made a world of beauty and colour accessiblethat did not exist outside the tent. This tribal way of life has disappeared forever. Modern Westerners need to get accustomed to the visual language of rugs. We need to take time to look closely in order to see differences in quality. We need to compare naturally dyed rugs with chemically dyed ones. We need to develop a sensitivity for fine shades in colour. Chemically dyed wool refracts the light in a different way than naturally dyed wool does, the latter produces finely varied tones within one skein of wool, the former produces uniformly coloured wool.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”90px” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#f2efe9″ scene_position=”center” top_padding=”5%” bottom_padding=”5%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Now, since images say more than words:<\/p>\n
