Antique Uzbek Suzani, Probably Tajik, Silk on Red Cotton Ground, Circa 1900.

1900 - 1920
Description

Size: 8ft 5in x 6ft 6in (257 x 197cm).

Antique Uzbek suzani, silk embroidery on a red cotton ground.

Circa 1900.

Suzani are silk embroideries that have been woven in Uzbekistan for many hundreds of years, they are treasured family items woven by the ladies of a family usually to celebrate a wedding. They are then used to decorate the inside of the Yurt. They are embroidered in silk on strips of cotton which are then joined together to make the complete item. The suzani is then backed with fine cotton to give it strength and body.

This example has fine silk embroidery in floral designs, on a red cotton ground. It was probably woven in Shar-i-sabz, South Eastern Uzbekistan, near the Tajik boarder, probably Tajik work. The suzani would have been used as a bed cover or wall hanging.

The condition is excellent with only very slight wear and no repairs, the backing is Russian cotton with a floral design, the suzani was re-backed in Kabul in 2006. There is a very small finger tip size spot of damage in the lower left hand corner.

The suzani is ready for display.

Ref: T-0589.

FAQs

A suzani is a hand-embroidered textile originating from Central Asia, traditionally crafted by brides and their families in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan as part of a marriage dowry.

Traditional suzanis were created using silk threads embroidered onto narrow strips of cotton or silk foundation fabric, which were subsequently stitched together to form a larger completed panel.

Authentic late nineteenth and early twentieth-century suzanis feature hand-spun foundation fabrics, natural or early synthetic dyes, distinct vertical panel joins, and visible hand-stitching techniques such as chain stitch and couching.

A suzani can be displayed as a decorative wall hanging above a bed or sofa, draped across a dining table, or layered over neutral upholstery to introduce historic pattern and colour.

To preserve an antique suzani, display it away from direct sunlight, maintain stable humidity, use professional textile mounting methods for hanging, and consult a qualified textile conservator for cleaning.
