Moreover fastness is subject to the dye knowledge of the craftsperson and this is a matter of skill, intuition, and learning. These colours in fading still remain beautiful, and never, even after long wear, pass into nothingness, through that stage of livid ugliness which distinguishes the commercial dyes as nuisances, even more than their short and by no means merry life." "Like all dyes, they are not eternal the sun in lighting them and beautifying them consumes them yet gradually, and for the most part kindly, as (to use my example for the last time in this paper) you will see if you look at the Gothic tapestries in the drawing-room at Hampton Court. William Morris, for example, writing before synthetic dyes had the more subtle nature they have today has said of natural dyes: The idea of looking to ancient examples of dyes to check colours is not new. Colours will change over time, however, it is important to note that the changes are far from what is often claimed by some critics of natural dyes, and some synthetic dye makers. As such they give an excellent example of the longevity of natural colour over time. Many tapestries have only been subjected to modern conservation (light and climate control) in recent times, having hung (sometimes for hundreds of years) enduring exposure to daylight and weather. The most notable craft houses, the flemish tapestry makers which flourished between the 15th and 18th centuries, precede William Perkin's synthesis of mauve in 1856 by a good margin. One great advantage of almost all tapestries on exhibit in museum and church collections is that they were made before the advent of synthetic dyes.
