DESCRIPTION:
From the inside flap:
Arabesque -- the delicately intertwining embroidery of the Near East -- has flourished since biblical times but behind a veil of secrecy that is lifted here for the first time. This ancient folk art offers a cornucopia of different techniques, motifs, and uses: each region has assimilated into its own unique style Turkish forms, inherited from Ottoman Empire, and European materials, introduced during the British mandate, resulting in a vital, vibrant tradition that is still being embellished even today.
Lavishly illustrated throughout with over 200 pattern diagrams and photographs, all in full color, this exquisite collection of rare, authentic embroidery will inspire all needleworkers to enrich their lives and surroundings with the beauty and traditions of the past.
