Art of Southeast Asian Textiles: The Tilleke & Gibbons Collection

This over-sized book (10 ½” x 12 ¾”) book highlights museum-quality textiles from various cultures of Southeast Asia. Beautifully illustrated throughout, the publication focuses on handwoven and hand-adorned cloth produced by ethnic groups in Thailand and neighboring countries, including Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Burma, and Malaysia. Social, political, and economic ties linked the cultures of Mainland Southeast Asia to ones in other areas, such as the island cultures of the region, resulting in the exchange of cloth. Some textile types from Indonesia and India are, thus, included in this volume. Art of Southeast Asian Textiles showcases over two hundred examples from this private collection, presented with the same intention as the law firm’s purpose to build a collection: textiles as art.
