The art of marbling on paper,
or 'ebru' in Turkish, is a
traditional decorative form
employing special methods. The
word 'ebru' comes from the
Persian word 'ebr,' meaning
'cloud.' The word 'ebri' then
evolved from this, assuming
the meaning 'like a cloud' or
'cloudy,' and was assimilated
into Turkish in the form
'ebru.' Marbling does actually
give the impression of clouds.
Another possible derivation of
the word 'ebru' is from the
Persian 'âb-rûy,' meaning
'face water.'
Although it is not known when
and in which country the art
of marbling was born, there is
no doubt that it is a
decorative art peculiar to
Eastern countries. A number of
Persian sources report that it
first emerged in India. It was
carried from India to Persia,
and from there to the
Ottomans. According to other
sources, the art of marbling
was born in the city of
Bukhara in Turkistan, finding
its way to the Ottomans by way
of Persia. In the West, 'ebru'
is known as 'Turkish paper.'
