WATER BIRDS OF RUDOLF I. OF HABSBURG - The funeral attire of the Czech king was removed from the tomb in the royal crypt of St. Vitus Cathedral at Prague Castle in 1991. It was then restored at Abegg-Stiftung in Riggisberg. The garment was sewn from two similar lampas fabrics of Central Asian origin from the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. The pattern was woven with wefts made of strips of animal substrate (leather), gilded on the outer side and silvered on the inner side. The first fabric features a pattern of birds holding a twig or fish in their beaks, while the second one depicts Chinese dragons and clouds.
Brocade was a historical term typically used to describe a fabric, usually silk, with a distinct jacquard pattern. Patterns were woven with threads containing expensive metallic fibers, such as silver or gold. However, the term "brocade" later began to be used for any fabric with a rich pattern. The technique for producing brocades originated in the Middle East. All our fabrics are high quality product.
