THE PEARL OF DOWRY CHESTS: WHITE EMBROIDERY

White embroidery has a very important place in the historical and cultural terms in Tokat and it is traditionally used in bridal bundles, prayer rugs, covers.

Considered a symbol of wealth, elegance, simplicity and purity, white embroidery ornamentation became popular around the palace and among the wealthy families of Anatolia from the 16th century onwards.

Preferred in the mansions of the respectable families of Tokat, white embroidery has had an important place as a symbol of elegance and refinement that complements the decor of the interiors.

The art of white embroidery, which is carefully processed as if telling a story, kneaded with labor and love, continues to be kept alive with all its intricacies in the workshops of our institute.
