Description

Size: 7ft 10in x 6ft 2in (240 x 188cm).
Antique Uzbek suzani, silk embroidery on a fine hand woven red cotton ground which has been block printed with a floral watermark.
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 often 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 probably woven by Tajik ladies, it is silk embroidery of a floral design on a fine hand woven red cotton ground which has been block printed with a floral watermark.
The condition is excellent with only very slight wear and a few scattered small old stains, the suzani is not backed.
The suzani is ready for display or it could be used as a bed cover.
