The Holburne Museum host an exhibition of elaborately folded napkins and linen made by Joan Sallas after Renaissance and Baroque patterns. This will be the first time that such an exhibition has been held in the UK and the first time that Sallas has worked here. Joan Sallas is the world’s leading authority on historic linen folding and a virtuoso folder. Based on meticulous research of court etiquette, he has almost singlehandedly revived the extraordinary art that first appeared in Renaissance Italy but reached its zenith in German speaking lands in the 17th century. Sallas has exhibited across Europe and USA, but never the UK. This is the first time and a rare opportunity for UK visitors to see this remarkable and spectacular art-form from a highly-skilled and passionate artist. In January 2013 Sallas and his assistant worked on site to create a 1.5m high table fountain flanked by heraldic beasts, a 3m long snake and numerous animals, vegetables and architectural features – all original designs that would have graced the tables of courts and those of high-society across Europe. These elaborate and exceptional constructions are shown in the Holburne’s grand 7.5m long table display in the Ballroom Gallery amongst the Museum’s decorative arts collection. Located in this beautiful space the scale of the linen creations vividly recreate the drama of the dining experience in the Baroque age and relate to our sixteenth and seventeenth-century ceramics and silver.
