Sammanfattning : The aim of this study is to discuss the production, use, and interpretation of a group of decorative interior textiles during the period 1750–1950 belonging to the County Museum in Halmstad.

The last question points towards a methodological choice, where the textiles as material phenomena constitute source material alongside textual and visual sources. LÄS MER
