Jennifer Scarce - Domestic culture in the middle east

Description
Jennifer Scarce vividly brings to life the distinctive character of domestic spaces and activities in Turkey, Iran and Egypt. Richly illustrated, Domestic Culture in the Middle East recreates an environment dominated by textiles - rugs, hangings and superb embroidery - and explores a world which takes the reader from the bath-house to exquisite meals, from poetry to picnics by the Bosphorus.
