LINDA WRIGGLESWORTH
Advisory work, valuations, historical descriptions and more.
Over the past Forty or so years my love of Antique Chinese costume and textiles has not wavered for a moment. Though most of you know I have now semi retired to follow my equal passion of the study of Buddhism. However, I do feel it is my still my ‘job’ to share with you my thoughts and expertise that these years in the textile world have given me.
Buddha said…
…we should do four things to become a good meditator of an object. To settle the mind, contemplate its good qualities, dedicate your good virtues for being given the precious time to do such contemplation and realise the object completely until it becomes crystal clear.
Textile Care
Antique textiles require a minimum but important level of care to maintain their condition. Display, handling and storage are the three areas you need to consider.
History of Costumes
The ceremonial dragon robe, with its characteristic symmetrically placed dragons and stripped deep water hem, Lishui epitomises Chinas last imperial dynasty, the Qing (1644-1911).
