Uzbekistan's textile tradition, shaped by its place on the old Silk Road, is the subject of this volume by Yaffa Assouline. It centres on the 19th-century court costumes of the emirs of Bukhara, including ceremonial chapans embroidered entirely in gold, alongside suzani hangings, ikat silks and jewellery. Laziz Hamani's photographs and a silk cover make it a book to keep for its craft as much as its history.
