Description
This is a celebration of the extensive and little-known collection of Ottoman embroidery at the V&A, which ranges from the middle of the 16th-century to 1900. Sumptuous illustrations, showing over one hundred major pieces from the rich collection, are accompanied by a brief historical introduction and diagrams, which provide invaluable guidance for needleworkers.
