They are certainly the best example surviving of what was once a very common form of interior decoration . Frequently recorded in early wills, inventorie s and account books, where such cloths are valued at sixpence to a shilling a yard, they give a privileged idea of the appearance of many Tudor and Stuart interiors, before the introducti on of wall-paper s. Many must have been destroyed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when improving and modernizin g old houses. Now only fragments of such work survive in a few provincial museums and old houses. https://owlpen.com/manor/painted-cloths Fri, 24 Apr 2009 21:24:33 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=19837 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=19837 In period, painted cloth was used for temporary displays, such as banners, city flags and decoration s for procession s. Painting banners is one of the quickest and easiest ways to dress up a hall or event site. Here I'll give you some tips and hints that I've learned over the past few years. https://web.archive.org/web/20090207071110/http://bryn-gwlad.ansteorra.org/articles/as/banner01/ Sat, 06 Jan 2007 23:41:48 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=14317 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=14317 There is a widespread assumption that medieval textiles were decorated only in the original weaving, as brocade or tapestry, and embellishe d only by embroidery . When we look at a miniature of an interior, we assume that the ornate wall hangings were woven to a princes order. When we look at a carved angel, we assume that the delicate relief on the hem of a robe represents skilful embroidery . And it cannot be doubted that much of it does represent what we assume it to represent. Howeve r, beside the crafts of weaver and embroidere r, and long intertwine d with them, was the craft of painter, or painter-st ainer. Painters provided designs, and sometimes competitio n, for textile craftsmen. Although paint was a cheap and fast alternativ e to woven or embroidere d decoration , it was not despised, but was used in period for all the same purposes as the more costly cloth. http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.parma.bc.ca/articles/steyned.html > http://www.academia.edu/4790416/Whips_Angels Thu, 04 May 2006 14:09:19 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=11800 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=11800 Descriptio n of the procedures for using gutta-resi st and silk-paint ing for heraldic banners and standards. https://web.archive.org/web/20080828180822/http://hightowercrossbows.com/pennanthowto.htm Tue, 21 Mar 2006 15:06:22 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=11418 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=11418
