A French-language article by Robert de Micheaux, honorary curator, describing the Musée Historique des Tissus of the Lyon Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1856 and housed since 1950 in the Hôtel Villeroy. It surveys the collections: Coptic, Sassanian, Byzantine, Persian and Turkish textiles and carpets, Far Eastern pieces, medieval embroideries, Spanish and Italian velvets and brocades, liturgical vestments, and Lyon silks from Philippe de Lasalle through Jacquard, Grégoire's painted velvets and 20th-century designers. Eighteen halftone figures show the building, galleries and selected textiles.
