Antique Uzbek suzani, silk on a yellow cotton ground.

The suzani is then backed with fine cotton to give it strength and body.

FAQs

A suzani is a traditional hand-embroidered textile crafted in Uzbekistan and Central Asia, historically made as part of a brides dowry to decorate living spaces.

Traditional suzanis are crafted using silk thread embroidery worked onto narrow cotton or linen ground fabric strips, which are subsequently stitched together using couching and chain stitches.

Authentic pieces feature pieced fabric panels, natural vegetable dyes displaying subtle colour variations, hand-stitched silk threads, and traditional Central Asian motifs such as circular floral medallions.

A suzani can be mounted as a focal wall hanging above a bed or sideboard, draped across upholstered seating, or utilised as a bedcover to add texture and historical pattern.

Keep the textile out of direct sunlight to protect natural dyes from fading, ensure proper weight distribution when mounted, and consult a professional textile conservator for specialized dry cleaning.
