Gemlike Bokhara Suzani, Uzbekistan, Circa 1850, 1.38m X 1.08m

19th century
Description

Occasionally, something special passes through my hands which reminds me how lovely the world of antiques and rugs is. This Bokhara Suzani hits the spot. Its a miniature size, smaller than a Nim-Suzani, and yet the balance and scale of the design is absolutely wonderful. There is a very subtle range of colours with a varied array of flowers, and the design flows elegantly through the field, linked by gold tendrils and leaves in shades of green and blue. The embroiderer even managed to include one or two little additional floral elements, if one looks carefully. The field composition is framed by an equally elegant border with larger scale floral ornaments and a wonderful flowing green leafy arabesque which runs around the entire composition. If there was ever a suzani that was made as a dowry piece this would surely be it. Cherished throughout the generations, it has survived in excellent condition and with no visible staining. As an added bonus, it has three different pieces of old chintz lining on the back. Totally charismatic, this suzani is both highly collectible and decorative.

FAQs

A Bokhara Suzani is a hand-embroidered textile originating from the Bokhara region of Uzbekistan, traditionally created as part of a bridal dowry during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Authentic Suzanis are typically constructed from narrow strips of handwoven cotton or linen fabric that are embroidered with silk threads using couching and chain stitches before being sewn together.

Authentic 19th-century pieces are composed of separate vertical panels stitched together after embroidery, often displaying subtle pattern misalignments and natural vegetable dye shade variations.

Antique Suzanis are frequently mounted inside custom frames as focal wall art, draped over the back of sofas, or used as decorative accents at the foot of a bed.

Silk embroideries should be kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity, supported evenly when displayed, and cleaned only by qualified textile conservators.
