Letters in Gold is a beautifully illustrated book, perfect for students, art lovers, or as a stunning coffee-table piece, drawing on the rich history of great Islamic sacred art.
Letters in Gold Calligraphy Book is a stunning showcase of Ottoman calligraphy masterpieces from the Sakıp Sabancı Collection. This book features 71 exquisite works, including illuminated Qur'ans, prayer handbooks, ornate albums with marbled paper, large-scale framed compositions for mosques and homes, and royal edicts adorned with sultans' imperial monograms. Rich gold lettering paired with delicate blue-and-gold illuminations transforms the written word into captivating art, spanning major calligraphers from the 15th to early 20th century. Now out of print and increasingly difficult to find, it offers a rare opportunity for art lovers and collectors to own a piece of cultural history, highlighting the timeless beauty of Ottoman script as displayed in Istanbul's Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition.
