Description:
Sweden 1996. For almost a hundred years from the middle of the 18th century, a little-known and very beautiful art flourished in Scania, the southernmost region of Sweden. This was expressed in small textile panels that were mostly made for wedding ceremonies. Marriage rituals have always been of great importance to small communities: it involves the setting up of a new home and represents a sense of continuity in tradition. For each wedding in Scania an extensive dowry composed of many kinds of woven textiles was created by the bride-to-be. This gorgeous, richly illustrated book with slip cover shows many fine examples of the varied and colorful textiles and the text is extremely extensive., English, Year1996, Illust. B/W74, Illust. Color180, ISBN 1874780072, Code 3546. Clothbound, Not in perfect condition., Index. Bibl. Pages 248, Size 15x 12
