A matter of Patchwork

Patchwork’s origins goes all the way back to th B.C. 100, and known to have its Anatolian roots from the Seljuk era. Called as Kırkyama, Yamalıbohça and Kırkpare, this handcraft is a recycling art which is emerged in order to reuse of leftover fabrics. The technique known as patchwork, is estimated to be distributed to West via the Silk Road and accepted as an art form in Europe and even managed to create its own industry there. Today, although it is a lost and forgotten handcraft, patchwork is now in our collection with this miniature example.
