From Celia Rufey’s round-up of some of the best textile collections to see around the UK, to Emma Longstaff’s examination of the history of stumpwork, via Victoria Maw’s spotlight on the designers turning antique textiles into a range of beautiful items, fabric is a thread that weaves itself throughout the August issue of Homes & Antiques.
Our houses are all colourful and eclectic, featuring beloved collections, from Staffordshire ceramics to African basketware. And we go underground to look at the evolution of the London Tube map – an icon of graphic design recognised all over the world.
Plus, as always, the Homes & Antiques August issue includes our essential directory of antiques fairs, auctions and must-see exhibitions around the UK and beyond.
