 We often talk about the old times. How life was primitive then..
But did you ever think that old people were using much more natural and healthy materials in their daily lives?
Our grandmothers were taking bath at Hammams. About 80 years ago, each street had a Hammam of it’s own, and some wealthy families used to have their own Hammams in the household.
Here is a photo of an old peshtemal of our grandmothers. It’s pure silk , hand embroidered delicately with silk vegetable dyed yarns.
Can you afford to use such a precious cloth for drying your body today?
You can only frame it and hang on your wall !! |
