Collection GALERIE RUF Switzerland

European textiles 1430-2010
More than 1300 textiles
Bear witness to the evolution of European textile design across nearly 600 years.
The textiles making up this exceptional collection differ from those found in museums in
that they extend across the entire woven width of the fabric, including both selvages,
and feature full length repeats.
Their lengths are between 50 and 300 cm (most of them between 100 – 200 cm) and
all textiles are in pristine condition.

European fashion 1710-1920
More than 600 costumes
& 700 accessories
Documenting the evolution of European fashion across two centuries.
The top-of-the-line collection consists of costumes that are entirely unaltered in
most cases, in an excellent state of preservation, and whose colors are
bright and fresh.
