Arsen Yarman’s book Jewellery and Armenian Goldsmiths Under the Ottomans, dedicated to Armenian jewellery, one of the most important crafts and arts in which the Armenian people excelled. After nearly a decade of meticulous and comprehensive work, the English edition of Arsen Yarman’s monumental masterpiece, Jewelry and Armenian Goldsmiths under the Ottomans — originally published in Turkish — has finally been released.
In this meticulously researched two-volume work, Arsen Yarman brings to light the extraordinary treasures created by artisans from the very dust and soil of the earth between the 16th and 20th centuries. Drawing upon extensive archival sources and previously unpublished visual materials, he traces the intricate path leading to the mansions and palaces of Ottoman high society, while uncovering in remarkable detail the profound influence of Armenian jewelers on the artistic heritage of Ottoman jewelry.
Jewelry and Armenian Goldsmiths under the Ottomans serves as a vivid testament to the culture, aesthetics, and social values of its time. It captures the beliefs and aspirations of an era, the exceptional craftsmanship of its artisans, the trade secrets passed down through generations, and the enduring contribution they made to the art of jewelry.
