Size: 9ft 2in x 7ft 1in (280 x 215cm).Antique Uzbek Tajik ro-i-jo suzani, silk on a black velvet ground.
Dated 1976 (50 years old).
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 or other special occasion. They are then used to decorate the inside of the Yurt or family home. They are usually embroidered in silk on on a cotton, silk, linen or wool ground. The suzani is often backed with a fine cotton lining to give it strength and body. Suzani can be used in the modern home as wall hangings, bed covers or decorative throws.
This example is of a format known as 'ro-i-jo', this was a cover for the nuptial bed, embroidered in silk twist on a black velvet ground ground. It was probably woven in Southern Uzbekistan by ladies of Tajik origin. The cover is dated to the centre top '1976' along with three initials. There is a yellow / gold fringe added along the lower end. There are small hanging loops attached along the top edge.
The condition is excellent with only very slight wear and no repairs.
The suzani is ready for display.
