THE MALTESE WEAVING HISTORY Maltese weaving is among the oldest in the world, dating back to prehistoric ages. Clay pottery and Flaxen textiles were found in the Prehistoric Temples of Tarxien, a clear evidence, that the early inhabitants on the Maltese Islands had weaving talents. The Phoenicians are known to have been the first inhabitants who came to our Islands 600 B.C.. The Phoenicians who are best known as navigators and merchants. As traders they were famous for glass and bronze-ware and also for weaving. The weaving industry in the Maltese Island received a great boost and a wider export market. Malta was becoming famous for it's woven textiles and wool rugs. About the year 480 B.C., the Maltese Islands fell into hands of the Carthaginians, who were also famous for their textiles. The Carthaginians found that the cotton production in the Maltese Islands was a great contribution for their textiles trade and soon the Maltese Islands became the center of activity. In the year 870 A.D, the Arabs became the new rulers of the Maltese Islands after they defeated the Byzantine rules. Among other things, the Arabs introduced cotton into Malta and soon the cotton production became a major rural industry. During the Knights era, some Grand Masters prohibited the wearing of woven fancy fabrics considering them frivolous. TO BE CONTINUED |
