The catalogue offers illustrations of the techniques, explanations of the meaning of embroideries, how they have been used in fashion, church, interior, and the history of production in different times and regions.

The very special charm of embroideries lies in the individual expression of one artist. So each piece, like this suit, is unique. more culture>>>
