“…All four motions can be used to generate these patterns. Border patterns and all-over patterns may also be classified according to these four motions, making a total of seven primary classes of border patterns and seventeen classes possible for all-over patterns [3,41]. As per border patterns, only two-fold rotation (180 degrees) is possible, and only two-, three-, four-and six-fold rotations (180, 120, 90 and 60 degrees) are possible for all-over patterns.…”

“…In fabrics, designs are made by the interlacement of warps and wefts, and in order to create symmetry, the warp lines up with either the weft axis or another warp in the motifs new position [3]. In Jacquard looms, punched cards determine which warp threads are lifted; if a pattern is repeated across the width of the fabric, the loom is threaded in a way that several wires from the harness are connected to a hook corresponding the holes of the punched card, either mirrored or repeatedly.…”

“…In order to create symmetry, the warp lines up with either the weft axis or another warp in the motifs new position [2]. These motifs can be asymmetrical and symmetrical, or they can even be asymmetrical but presenting repetitions or symmetrical and repeated [3]. Motifs and patterns were widely spread across Europe and in many occasions, revivals were used.…”

Applying Axial Symmetries to Historical Silk Fabrics: SILKNOW’s Virtual Loom

et al. 2020

Symmetry is part of textile art in patterns and motifs that decorate fabrics, which are made by the interlacement of warp and wefts. Moreover, the 3D representation of fabrics have already been studied by some authors; however, they have not specifically dealt with preserving historical weaving techniques. In this paper, we present the SILKNOW’s Virtual Loom, a tool intended to document, preserve and reproduce silk historical weaving techniques from the 15th to the 19th centuries. We focus on the symmetry function and its contribution to art history, textile conservation, and modern design. We analyzed 2028 records from Garin 1820 datasets—a historical industry that still weaves with these techniques—and we reconstructed some historical designs that presented different types of defects. For those images (including fabrics and drawings) that had a symmetrical axis, we applied the symmetry functionality allowing to reconstruct missing parts. Thanks to these results, we were able to verify the usefulness of the Virtual Loom for conservation, analysis and new interpretative advantages, thanks to symmetry analysis applied to historical fabrics.
