Flowers of Silk and Gold: Four Centuries of Ottman Embroidery
Krody, Sumru Belger
Merrill, in association with The Textile Museum, Washington DC, 2000
ISBN# 1-85894-105-9
The book was produced inconjunction with an exhibition, but is quite complete in itself with clear pictures, history, stitch diagrams, description of fabrics and stitches, cultural commentary. Unfortunately the book contains only a few 16th or 17th C. items. SB
