An integral part of the elegant dinner parties held in the pavilions of the 16th to 18th centuries, the refined quality of the damask reminded guests of the elegance of the occasion. The depictions of nature, clean and calm, woven into discrete patterns on rich fabric, transformed the dinner experience into a stylish and sumptuous one. In Sweden, the tradition of woven damask linens benefits from the meticulous, talented weaving techniques from the East in combination with the natural linen fibers and the nature scenes characteristic of Scandinavia. This beautiful book explores the history of the damask with illustrations of the glorious dinner parties, while also presenting a collection of Swedish damask linens.

A thorough history of women’s fashion from the French Revolution to present day. Because fashion always reflects the spirit of the age, this book is especially sensitive to women’s struggle for liberty and political power that characterized much of women’s history during this period. Clothing design was one arena in which women were able to voice their opinions in face of a male- dominated society. For this reason, this century is marked by a spectacular degree of innovation in clothing, evidenced by the dramatic influences of powerful figures ranging from Madame de Staël and George Sand to fashion moguls such as Chanel and Dior.
