(Apparently alternating the direction of the bricks helped roads withstand more traffic.) The construction technique soon became a motif in architecture \u2014 think Filippo Brunelleschi\u2019s grand Duomo cathedral in Florence \u2014 and flooring.

The technique has roots throughout Asia and Africa, and is said to date from the 10th century. But while its provenance is fuzzy, ikat&#8217;s appearance is anything but: No two motifs are ever alike, and they can never be duplicated. It takes three steps for ikats to get their watery look. First, warp threads are tied into bundles and dyed, then they&#8217;re secured to the loom. As the weft thread is weaved through, the design begins tol emerge. The handcrafted process is what gives ikats their feathery edges.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/more-furniture-collectibles\/nautical-objects\/late-1960s-paisley-fabric-hawaiian-gun-surfboard-rare-original\/id-f_2138302\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64383 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_paisley-363x350.jpg\" alt=\"prints_paisley\" width=\"363\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_paisley-363x350.jpg 363w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_paisley-120x116.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_paisley-518x500.jpg 518w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_paisley.jpg 580w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 363px) 100vw, 363px\" \/><\/a>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/search\/?q=paisley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paisley<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though it wasn\u2019t born in the town of Paisley, Scotland, the swirling floral pattern was <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thistleandbroom.com\/scotland\/paisley.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">popularized<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> there. More shawls were produced there than anywhere, and Paisley became its generic name as a result. The first shawls were made in Paisley around 1808, and by 1850 there were over 7,000 weavers in town. By the early 1870s, the paisley shawl began to fall out of fashion, largely due to the advent of bustles and the Franco-Prussian war of 1870\u20131871, which halted exports of shawls from Kashmir. So where did paisley come from? Kashmir, of course, where industrial production of the shawl supposedly started in the 11th century.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/settees\/19th-century-carved-mahogany-sofa\/id-f_1222616\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64393 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_tartan-456x350.jpg\" alt=\"prints_tartan\" width=\"456\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_tartan-456x350.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_tartan-120x92.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_tartan.jpg 580w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/a>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/search\/?q=tartan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tartan<\/a>:  <\/span><\/p>\n<p>If tartans call to mind flame-haired men carrying bagpipes and swords, you&#8217;re correct: The origins of the pattern are inextricably tied to Scotland. When the Scoti tribe arrived from Ireland in the fifth century, they didn&#8217;t just give the nation its name but an everyday garment that came to symbolize Scotland\u2019s identity. As time passed, the number of stripes on a cloth were used to signify rank while weaves became associated with different clans around the country. In 1746, the British government tried to ban the wearing of tartan but ended up adopting their patterns in an effort to win over rebels. Fast forward to 2009, and the Scottish Parliament established a Register of Tartans, proving the pattern was here to stay.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/more-furniture-collectibles\/pillows-throws\/19th-century-toile-de-jouy-pillow\/id-f_3427032\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64403 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_toile-de-jouy-456x350.jpg\" alt=\"prints_toile-de-jouy\" width=\"456\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_toile-de-jouy-456x350.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_toile-de-jouy-120x92.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_toile-de-jouy.jpg 580w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/a>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/search\/?q=toile+de+jouy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toile de Jouy<\/a>: <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Long associated with country ch\u00e2teaus and stiff-backed settees, toile de jouy is truly a product of its time. It all started when German-born Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf moved to Paris in 1758, when he quickly formed a partnership with a former employer and set up a cotton factory in the town of Jouy-en-Josas. With the advent of copper plate technology in France, which not only allowed for large, repeating patterns but finer detail and shadows, Oberkampf began commissioning artists to produce series of bucolic scenes. Soon cotton apparel was being used to depict the highlights of the time, from the first flight in a hot air balloon to France&#8217;s fixation with India. In all, more than 30,000 designs were made at the Jouy-en-Josas factory, and the phrase toile de jouy became a label for a style of print.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/more-art\/judith-content-whisper\/id-a_856573\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64413 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_whisper-521x350.jpg\" alt=\"prints_whisper\" width=\"521\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_whisper-521x350.jpg 521w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_whisper-120x81.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/prints_whisper.jpg 580w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px\" \/><\/a>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/search\/?q=shibori\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shibori<\/a>: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the oldest dyeing techniques in Japan, shibori designs vary from highly symmetrical patterns to streaky splashes of color.
