188 KING, Monique & Donald. European Textiles in the Keir Collection 400 BC to 1800 AD. London and Boston, Faber and Faber, 1990.

4to. 311pp. Profusely illustrated in colour and black and white. Dust-jacket.

The Keir Collection is one of the most remarkable and wide-ranging collections of works of art gathered together in any country since World War II. It is famous for its Islamic art but it is probable that its European textiles could well gain equal renown. There are few museums that can rival it in this field for its scope, quality and variety. It is particularly strong on Italian and French textiles of the 15th to the 18th centuries. But it has also many notable works from late antiquity, the medieval period and the Renaissance, produced in Egypt, Spain, England and Germany. Its coverage is so extensive that this work is in effect a general history of the subject, illustrating the evolution of design and technique from Roman times to 1800.
