Threads of Empire

Written by Dorothy Armstrong, the book traces the global history of empires through the intricate stories of twelve historic carpets.

Studio Duco’s design weaves together elements from these ancient textiles into a visually rich and layered composition, blending cultural motifs, colours, and textures to evoke the craftsmanship and narratives embedded in each piece.

The resulting artwork pays homage to both the artistry of the carpets themselves and the complex histories they represent, forming a tapestry of visual storytelling that invites readers into the world of woven history.

The book is available for purchase at Waterstones.
