Description

Size: 7ft 1in x 4ft 11in (216 x 149cm).
Antique Uzbek Tashkent suzani, superb colour and condition.
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 suzani is in 'full work' the silk basma stitching covers the entire surface, the ground is hand spun linen known as 'karboz'. The suzani probably originates from Tashkent in north-east Uzbekistan.
The condition is excellent with only very slight wear and no repairs.
The suzani is ready for display.
