Description
Summary:	The practice of the intricate, ancient arts of embroidery throughout the Ottoman Empire gave rise to splendid representations of flowers in silk and gold. With sumptuous colour photography throughout, Flowers of Silk and Gold examines the history of the various stitches, fabrics and designs employed, and gives an engrossing insight into an unfamiliar though much-fantasized world.
