Antique Uzbek Tajik 'Ru-i-jo' Bed Cover Suzani, Silk on Silk, Circa 1900/20.

1900 - 1920
Description

Size: 6ft 7in x 4ft 3in (200 x 130cm).

Antique Uzbek Tajik suzani, silk on a green silk ground.

Circa 1900/20.

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 or other special occasion. They are then used to decorate the inside of the Yurt or family home. They are usually embroidered in silk on on a cotton, silk, linen or wool ground. The suzani is often backed with a fine cotton lining to give it strength and body. Suzani can be used in the modern home as wall hangings, bed covers or decorative throws.

This example is of a format known as 'ro-i-jo', this was a cover for the nuptial bed, embroidered in silk and cotton couching stitch on a green silk brocade ground. It was probably woven in Southern Uzbekistan by ladies of Tajik origin.

The condition is fair with only very slight wear, there are some historic stains and watermarks, which is reflected in the price.

The suzani is ready for display.

Ref: T-0590.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A Ru-i-Jo is a traditional Central Asian embroidered bed cover, historically crafted in regions like Uzbekistan and Tajikistan as a central component of a bridal dowry.

Suzanis are constructed from silk embroidery worked onto silk or cotton ground fabric, created in narrow woven strips embroidered individually before being stitched together.

Authentic examples display natural plant dyes, hand-worked chain or tambour stitching, and slight motif mismatches along the vertical panel joins.

These textiles can be mounted as decorative wall hangings, draped across upholstered seating, or used as a prominent bed cover.

Silk textiles should be kept in climate-controlled environments away from direct sunlight, mounted with acid-free materials, and cleaned only by specialist conservators.
