Resumen

• Velvets were an outstanding testimonial to social rank and status among the ruling classes of the fifteenth century. They were much sought after for their ability to confer a sense of authority and wealth on those who wore or used them.

  The prominent position occupied by velvet in fifteenth-century silk weaving formed the focal point of an international colloquium at the Abegg-Stiftung in 2015. The proceedings published here explore a wide array of themes, ranging from developments in style through innovations in technique to the various economic requirements and implications of velvet production.
