Within the embroidery workshop one floor below, seamstresses guided their needles through small squares of material stretched in wood frames; one creating delicate flowers, one other glimmering grids of sequins. And in a small meeting room on level 4, where antique silk-screening stamps are displayed under a glass-topped table, Baptiste de Bermingham plucked a length of reddish-brown velvet from a drawer and let it puddle on the glass.
