The Interior of a Guild Master’s House and his Weaving Workshop

The reconstruction of the interior of the home and weaving workshop owned by a guild master of one of the older guilds, thus a member of one of the highest guild authorities, has been undertaken in such a way as to show what the house would have looked like at the turn of the 20th century, a turning point for artisanal craftsmanship which was rapidly being displaced by mechanical equipment developed in the mid-19th century.
