Author Topic: Painted fabrics Gwen Member Member # 126 posted 03-07-2002 01:23 PM                   I've had a question about the use of painted textiles (specifically linen) in the 15th C. I know that tents and silk pennons, flags and banners were painted, but was painted linen used for any reason?

Also as you say with silk, flags and badges could be on linen just as much, if not more so, than silk. Cheers Dave Registered: May 2000  |  IP: Logged
