The Art of Tarq’

Tarq’ is an intricate method of embroidery – silver is hand-embroidered and hammered into fabric – with roots that go back to ancient Egypt. Known as Tally in Egypt, tarq’ in Lebanon, and tel kırma in Turkey, the art form spread throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, passed down through families. Traditionally fashioned into a veil or a dress as part of a bride’s trousseau, the craft experienced a resurgence in the West during the Art Deco movement owing to the popularity of its geometric motifs and metallic shimmer. Now considered a disappearing craft, LEVANT works with a women’s cooperative in Baalbek, Lebanon to revive and reimagine the art of tarq’.
