Bokhara Nim-suzani, Uzbekistan, Circa 1860, 1.36m X 0.99m

19th century
Description

The term 'Nim-Suzani' refers the smaller format suzani. Nim-Suzanis often run the risk of being a little cluttered in their composition. However, this lovely example has perfect balance. The field design is flowing and elegant while the flowers in the border are beautifully executed and well-spaced. Note also the variety of flowers, a subtle indication of fine workmanship, and the saz-type leaves. The silk embroidery has survived in good condition with only some minor losses. The cotton background is also in good condition with only some minor areas of restoration. The original lining on the back is intact. This is a very pretty piece which is both collectible and highly decorative.

We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A Nim-Suzani is a traditional hand-embroidered textile panel originating from Central Asia, particularly Uzbekistan, created in a smaller size format than a full suzani. Historically crafted for bridal dowries, these panels feature ornate floral patterns executed in silk thread on woven grounds.

Authentic 19th-century suzanis were hand-embroidered using natural vegetable-dyed silk threads on narrow strips of handspun cotton or linen cloth. These woven strips were stitched together prior to or after completing the intricate needlework.

Genuine antique suzanis demonstrate subtle colour variations from vegetable dyes, hand-loomed ground fabrics, visible drawn guide lines beneath stitches, and slight irregularities across the needlework. The reverse side typically shows traditional chain or couch stitching.

Embroidered suzani panels can be mounted on archival Conservation boards to display as framed wall art above sideboards or sofas. They may also be placed over contemporary soft furnishings to introduce colour, pattern, and historical texture.

Preserve antique silk needlework by displaying it away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and fiber degradation. Support the panel with acid-free mounting materials and rely strictly on professional textile conservators for cleaning.
