Turkish Delights by Philippa Scott
The cultural meeting of East and West unites the wealth of paintings, drawings, photographs and decorative objects in this gloriously illustrated book, which is available again after some time out of print. The result is a cornucopia of Turkish delights, from the exotic allure of the harem and Turkish bath to Ottoman-inspired interiors and pavilions; from carpets, silks, tiles and turbans to tulips, tobacco, coffee and croissants. This book is for anyone who has fallen in love with the style of the Ottoman world.
