A detailed study of Tudor textiles, highlighting their extravagant
beauty and their impact on the royal court, fashion, and taste At
the Tudor Court, textiles were ubiquitous in decor and ceremony.
Tapestries, embroideries, carpets, and hangings were more highly
esteemed than paintings and other forms of decorative art. In
16th-century Europe, fine textiles were so costly that they were
out of reach for average citizens, and even for many nobles. This
spectacularly illustrated paperback edition tells the story of
textiles during the long Tudor century, from the ascendance of
Henry VII in 1485 to the death of his granddaughter Elizabeth I in
1603. It places elaborate tapestries, imported carpets and lavish
embroidery within the context of religious and political upheavals
of the Tudor court, as well as the expanding world of global trade.
Special attention is paid to the Field of the Cloth of Gold, a
magnificent two-week festival held in 1520. Even half a millennium
later, such extraordinary works remain Tudor society's strongest
projection of wealth, taste, and ultimately power. Published in
association with Historic Royal Palaces
