Description

Dating to the second quarter of the 19th century, this exceptional suzani was probably embroidered in the Uratube region which today falls into modern Tadjikistan. Embroidered in five panels, primarily employing a cross-stitch technique worked in silk on a cotton background, it is densely decorated with flowers and meandering vines in a dynamic arrangement which keeps the eye constantly moving across it. There appear to be two planes to the field design. On one level, pink rosettes are floating in a random fashion linked by green vines, while on a second, lower plane, myriad floral motifs exist. The same theme is continued in the border which lends the entire composition a formal elegance. This piece could work in many settings, but in particular I think it would look magnificent on a wall. The ivory cotton background has survived in generally good condition, while the silk embroidery is mostly intact. There is some minor old restoration to the corners which has been professionally executed.

Date of Manufacture

Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs has dated this Antique Silk Suzani to the 1850s.

FAQs

A suzani is a type of embroidered and decorative tribal textile traditionally made in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and other Central Asian countries, often featuring intricate floral and solar motifs.

Authentic period pieces are traditionally crafted with hand-spun cotton or linen foundation fabrics, embroidered using hand-dyed silk thread in various stitches such as the tambour hook or basma stitch.

Authentication involves examining the natural vegetable dyes, the irregularities of hand-spun and hand-woven ground fabrics, the quality and type of silk threads, and traditional stitching methods specific to Central Asian regions.

These large textiles are frequently mounted and framed as wall art, used as distinctive throws, or draped over furniture to introduce rich colour, texture, and pattern into contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, avoiding excessive handling, and utilizing professional conservation cleaning methods when necessary.
