Add to basketBilingual edition German / Italian Glimmering glass beads can be threaded onto thin wire and shaped into flowers - a historical handcraft based in Venice and its famous Murano glass. In this lavishly illustrated book, Georg Ragnar Levi tells the fascinating story of how beaded flowers came to be loved and despised - and at one point in history even banned. So-called French beaded flowers were created in homes, convents, prisons, and workshops, and were used for ornamental and symbolic purposes at baptisms, weddings, and funerals. The author guides us through the history, techniques, materials, and personal stories behind the craft, showing how the demand for wreaths and bouquets in the early 1900s became the bread and butter of many families in Europe and made the glassworks of Murano and Bohemia prosper. Edizione bilingue - Tedesco/Italiano Quella dei fiori di perline è un'arte antica e straordinaria, di origine veneziana; una manualità che pareva perduta, ma che sopravvive nel tempo. Le fioriture perenni sono realizzate con minute perline di vetro di Murano e boeme, montate su un finissimo filo di ferro. Le recensioni definiscono il volume riccamente illustrato di Georg Ragnar Levi "una rivelazione". L'autore conduce con naturalezza il lettore attraverso la storia, le tecniche, i materiali e i racconti personali che accompagnano le creazioni floreali. Translation into German / Traduzione in tedesco: Klaus-Jürgen Liedtke Translation into Italian / Traduzione in italiano: Carmen Giogetti Cima.

Zweisprachige Ausgabe Deutsch/Italienisch
Glasperlen können auf Drähte aufgefädelt und zu Blumen geformt werden - ein historisches Kunsthandwerk, das in Venedig und dem berühmten Muranoglas beheimatet ist.
In dem reich bebilderten Buch erzählt Georg Ragnar Levi die faszinierende Geschichte, wie es dazu kam, dass Perlenblumen geliebt und verachtet und irgendwann in der Geschichte sogar verboten wurden. Sogenannte Französische Perlenblumen wurden zu Hause, in Klöstern, Gefängnissen und Werkstätten hergestellt und bei Taufen, Hochzeiten und Beerdigungen zu ornamentalen und symbolischen Zwecken verwendet. Der Leser wird durch Historie, Techniken, Materialien und die persönlichen Geschichten hinter diesem Handwerk geführt. Levi zeigt, wie die Nachfrage nach Kränzen und Sträußen im frühen 20. Jahrhundert zum Broterwerb vieler Familien in Europa wurde und die Glashütten von Murano und Böhmen aufblühen ließ.
