It encourages cross-border investigations into artistic relationships that developed in the field of textile interior design. German description: Kleider machen Leute und Stoffe definieren Raume. Das Interieur furstlicher Residenzen des 18. Jahrhunderts wird massgeblich gepragt durch Textilien. In ganz Europa bestimmten gewebte, bemalte oder bedruckte Seidengewebe, Seidenborten sowie silberne und goldene Tressen und Quasten die Wirkung hofischer Reprasentations- und Privatraume. Dieser Band vereinigt Essays zu Ausstattungstextilien europaischer Schlossraume und regt damit grenzubergreifende Untersuchungen zu den kunstlerischen Beziehungen auf dem Gebiet der textilen Raumkunst an.
