Caroline Stone

I have been buying textiles for many years and am now selling off part of my collection. I also have a shop in Seville. I have written two books on textiles: Embroideries of North Africa, Longman, 1985 and Sevilla y los mantones de Manila, Ayuntamiento de Sevilla, 2000, as well as a number of articles: see ARAMCO World and TRC, Leiden, among other websites. The textiles here will be mailed from Seville. Please contact me for any further information and for details of postage: textilechestseville@gmail.com Payment via PayPal
