Description

Size: 5ft 1in x 4ft 2in (155 x 126cm).
Antique Uzbek suzani, silk on a dusky red cotton ground.
Circa 1900.
Suzani are silk embroideries that have been woven in Uzbekistan for many hundreds of years, they are treasured family items woven by the ladies of a family usually to celebrate a wedding. They are then used to decorate the inside of the Yurt. They are embroidered in silk on strips of cotton which are then joined together to make the complete item. The suzani is then backed with fine cotton to give it strength and body.
This example is of a small size with silk 'basma' couching stitch embroidery on a plain dusky red cotton field. It was probably woven in Southern Uzbekistan, Shahrisabz region. The suzani would have been used as a small cover or wall hanging, they were also used on special occasions to cover the ground for the serving of food, like a table cloth.
The condition is excellent with only very slight wear and no repairs. The suzani retains the original linen backing.
The suzani is ready for display.
