This beautiful book from the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha, tells the story of silk during the reign of Shah ‘Abbas I and how the production of luxury fabrics and floor coverings transformed Iran’s fortunes in the 17th century. By employing the most talented designers and bringing the industry under state control, Shah ‘Abbas built a flourishing silk economy that fuelled an era of rich artistic development and cultural exchange. Fashioning an Empire captures this moment in time, showcasing masterpieces from the period complemented by manuscript illustrations and portraits depicting how the silk fabrics were worn by the elite of Iranian society. With over 70 images including stunning detail shots, the book also features essays and catalogue entries by experts in the field exploring the social and political context for the works and the skill involved in their creation.
