The embroideries-the\n product of patience, perseverance, and\n rigor-use natural silk thread in radiant\n colors such as flame yellow or old gold,\n raspberry red, sky blue, or electric violet on\n muslin, lawn, linen, cotton, or silk. The\n embroidered pieces range from practical\n items for the home such as curtains, bed\n covers, tablecloths, and handtowels, to\n clothing accessories such as belts, scarves,\n and shawls. The decorative embroidery\n serves also as a reinforcement to prevent\n fragile fabrics from fraying, and as a\n showcase for a young woman's talent with\n a needle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsabelle Denamur takes us on a tour of\n Morocco : from the ancient city of Fez to the\n Andalusian-influenced Tétouan, and from\n the bustling capital of Rabat to the town of\n Azemmour, slumbering beside the ocean,\n its small white houses and splendid\n gardens nestled within ocher-colored\n ramparts. Within each city a unique\n embroidery art form has developed, from\n designs based on Byzantine bestiary to\n floral motifs of tulips, hyacinths, and wild\n roses, and from abstract patterns in a\n multitude of bright colors to motifs\n reminiscent of manuscript illuminations\n and mosaics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n      \u003ci\u003eMoroccan Textile Embroidery\u003c\/i\u003e features\n over a hundred exceptional pieces of\n embroidery, along with rare photographs\n and paintings of Moroccan life that place\n this superb craftwork in its historical\n context.
