Persian velvets from Safavid Iran represents one of the most advanced technical achievments in textile prior to the industrial revolution, and the Danish palace Rosenborg posesses the largest single corpus of Persian velvets in the world. This is a detailed study which includes an analysis of the weave structure and an interpretation of the technology. The book includes a very useful glossary and many detail photos for illustration of technique. These fabrics which adorned the walls of one of the Rosenborg rooms are a treasure of human artistic enterprise.
