"Russian Textiles" showcases the beautiful cotton fabrics that were created and manufactured in Russia and exported to Central Asia from 1850 to 1950. The Muslims in these Central Asian countries - Uzbeks, Tajiks, Farsi, Turkmen, etc. - incorporated the vividly designed fabrics into their clothing, particularly in the linings of robes and household items. An introductory essay describes the fascinating history of this influence of Middle Eastern and Western aesthetic styles and is illustrated with vintage photographs from the beginning of the 20th century, as well as images of robes and other items that were lined and decorated with the beautiful fabric. More than 150 fantastic patterns from various periods and styles, from the end of Victorian to Art Nouveau and Art Deco, are included, making "Russian Textiles" a book that every fashion, interior, product designer, craftsman, and artist will want to have in their inspiration library.
