Author Topic: Brocade sources CharlesMaurouard New Member Member # 641 posted 08-06-2004 12:57 AM                Anyone have some good sources for some nice brocade or other "period" upperclass fabrics for the mid 14th century? ..1340-50 Registered: Aug 2004  |  IP: Logged Callum Forbes Member Member # 230 posted 08-08-2004 04:56 PM                   I recently had the very good fortune of viewing a range of original brocade fabrics from the 13th century onwards in the museum of Uppsala Cathedral in Sweden. I was unable to photograph any because of concerns regarding flash damage but I can say that visually at least these brocades were basically identical to the modern brocade fabrics we use for our reconstructions in New Zealand - particularly those with floral or animal patterns. -------------------- URL=http://www.jousting.co.nz Facebook [URL=http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1290562306] Registered: Oct 2001  |  IP: Logged
