Synopsis
This work examines the various types of Jewish ceremonial embroidery, tracing the origins of embroidered work and the customs that have grown up around it. Symbolism, and the symbolic use of colour are discussed, as well as the differing folk traditions that produced the contrasting styles of embroidery for the home and the Synagogue. Practical and thorough advice is given on the factors - architectural, stylistic and religious - that should be taken into consideration before ceremonial work is undertaken. The author goes on to examine particular items of embroidery in detail, including the chuppah. Ark curtains, desk covers, Torah bindings and mantles and a variety of personal and domestic articles. New styles and the part each work plays in ceremony are discussed, providing readers with a solid foundation of knowledge for creating their own designs.

Reviews
Creating fiber art for religious use can be a daunting task. But this book, offering a wealth of historical information, and inspiring ideas and confidence in the reader, is a helpmeet worthy of the name. Guidelines, clearly illustrated with line drawings, explain how the reader can construct decorative objects for synagogue (Torah and pulpit covers, ark curtains and panels), personal (skullcaps and Tallit) and home use (table and bread cloths, pillows and mezuzah cases). The author discusses figurative motifs accessible to the beginner and the veteran. One could wish for more than the 13 color plates provided, but abundant black-and-white photographs compensate, exhibiting antique and contemporary designs that include Salomon's own gold-encrusted pieces. The author is a British freelance writer and embroiderer.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
