The 95 specimens of silk ribbons and cravates selected and analyzed by Irmgard Peter represent a group of approximately 450 ladies' cravates, for the most part documented to Charles Rebours and dated from 1865 to 1880. They provide documentary evidence of the production of Saint Etienne, one of the most important centers engaged in the manufacture of this type of textile.

About Marc Sena Carrel
I deal principally in rare and fine books. I also sell antique prints, including Japanese ukiyo-e. I have eclectic and wide-ranging interests and my collection generally emphasizes art titles. Areas of book specialization include: Art, Architecture, Design, Antiques, Antiquities, Small Press/Fine Press. As for prints, I am chiefly interested in ukiyo-e, ornithologicals, iconography and churches. I have a small but choice selection of books and prints available for the discriminating collector/buyer. My goal is to establish and maintain a stock in trade of a few thousand fine books and a few hundred noteworthy prints.
