India Office

In England, the British East India Company had a monopoly on trade with the East. An established sailing pattern for the British East India Company ships was to leave, in midwinter, from London for Canton, China, and return 13-14 months later. Meticulous records of this company s trade, as a result of silk being an important commodity imported directly from China, are housed at the India Office Library and Records in London. These records provide valuable information and documentation for several of the Chinese silk characteristics.
