 Textiles with antique patterns, elaborate, precious, rich and lovingly crafted on looms from the 1700's abound at Bevilacqua (San Marco Fondamenta Canonica 337b, textile manufacture and sale at Santa Croce 1320). Trois, in Campo San Maurizio, is the sole vendor of Fortuny textiles, created at the turn of the century by Mariano Fortuny, an adoptive Venetian of Spanish birth who devised a special method of hand-stamping prints on cloth. If it's open, the Museo Fortuny is well worth a visit. It is located in the palazzo where he lived, currently under restoration. Another of the big Venetian names in interior fabrics is Rubelli (San Marco 3877 and Campo San Gallo 1089/1090).
