These include Suzani, silk fabrics, gold embroidery, ornamental knives, intricate jewelry, handmade carpets, miniature paintings and ceramics that come in a kaleidoscope of patterns and colors. With the rise and prevalence of industrialism and the standards of mass production, these unique items handmade by craftsmen have truly become a special luxury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content 44eb89d0-6cb8-4133-b52f-a8c91d2af877\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e340 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eover 250 illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased in December 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content c99371e9-179f-4e9a-86b0-dd935219c39b\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eW 9.8 x L 13 x 1.6 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilk Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: \u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003e9781649800756\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7.0 lbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 tabindex=\"0\" class=\"section-faq__title accordion__title rq-hide-metafiled-emptytemplate--14756991336532__shipping is-open\" data-focus-element=\"\" data-accordion-toggle=\"\" data=\"\" data-mce-tabindex=\"0\"\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content c99371e9-179f-4e9a-86b0-dd935219c39b\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYaffa Assouline has worked as a journalist, consultant and creative art director.
