An account of a 1927 exhibition of Lyons silks held by the Needle and Bobbin Club at the Arden Gallery, drawn from the collection of H. A. Elsberg. It surveys silks from the late seventeenth century to the 1920s, with emphasis on the designers Philippe de Lassalle and Jean François Bony. Pieces discussed include the "Chariot of the Sun" brocade, a blue damask made for the Maréchal de Saxe, miniature portrait velvets, a court mantle of 1809, fabrics for Russia, and Worth dresses. The article is illustrated with five photographs.
