FAQs

A Lakai suzani is a decorative embroidered textile created by the nomadic Lakai tribe of Uzbekistan, traditionally crafted with silk threads on narrow strips of woven fabric as part of a brides wedding dowry.

Suzanis are typically crafted using silk embroidery thread on a cotton or silk foundation fabric, employing couching stitches (basma) and chain stitches (ilmok) to construct fluid floral and geometric patterns.

Authentic pieces from around 1900 feature natural vegetable dyes, slight variations in hand-stitching tension, multi-panel construction where separate strips were embroidered before assembly, and characteristic motifs such as solar discs and boteh.

An antique suzani can be mounted as framed wall art, hung as a textile tapestry, folded at the foot of a bed, or draped across upholstered furniture to incorporate colour and texture.

To preserve silk embroidery, keep the textile away from direct sunlight and damp conditions, avoid hanging by unreinforced edges, and consult a professional textile conservator for cleaning rather than washing.
