Hello,
I'm confused about this expression from 'Landed Gently' by Alan Hunter. Here a tapestry master is explaining how he has simplified his work (the action is taking place at around 50s):
As a result of these techniques we are very much a commercial proposition. We produce striking and original tapestry
– modesty in a bourgeois failing – in a comparatively short time and at a comparatively low price, while the
use of pure tones makes our work about as fade-proof as it comes.
Could you help me by explaining or paraphrasing it?
