Ribbon Weaving

Coventry's main industry from the early 1700s to the 1860s.


The unique ribbon weaving collection contains thousands of beautiful samples of woven silk ribbons, as well as over 250 sample books of ribbons. It also features a jacquard loom and other weaving equipment and probably the finest collections of woven silk pictures and bookmarks in the country.
