Persian embroidery is a special passion of mine. However, tracking down the origins, stitches and styles of embroidery used by Persians is a greater challenge than clothing. There almost no extant examples left in the world prior to the 17th century. The fragility of embroidery combined with the tumultuous history of the Persians have left very few extant pieces to study.
