Patterns based on the art and ornament of the Ottoman Empire, the richest and most powerful of all Islamic dynasties. The Art of this period is characterised by discord and exuberance. It is a world inhabited by strange flowers and plants. Tulips and carnations grow together from the same stem; supported on massive trunks or gossamer thin stalks. This book reflects the Ottoman obsession with flowers. 40 pages of body art patterns created for gilding, jeweling and Zardosi work.
