Tulips of the Royal Garden Drawing

Embellished with flowers, the legacy of the ancient Anatolian culture which extends to the present day came to life in the embroidery reinterpreted by Master Nahide Küçük. Nahide Küçük pioneered in promoting Turkish handicrafts to the world. She had a store at the Istanbul Hilton Hotel from 1984 to 1991 and at the Istanbul Swissotel from 1991 to 2000. For years, tourists from all over the world, from Germany, Japan, United Arab Emirates, USA and Italy in particular, bought the Turkish embroidery they saw in Nahide Küçük’s shop window at the Hilton, gave orders and took it back to their countries. For her many successful promotions the artist received various honourable mentions and certificates of appreciation.
