Description

A really outstanding example of the genre, in excellent condition. Extremely fine embroidery bustles and barges for space in this half size embroidery. Each red blossom is made up of two different reds, a blue red and an orange red, that are very similar tonally and when laid side by side, the effects are extraordinary- and beautiful. It adds so much depth and movement which is the hallmark of a great suzani. Ample use of green is very attractive too, with the vines whizzing and speeding around the small confines with dizzying velocity. It's a powerful little embroidery and I love it. A great display piece that will continually entertain you as you try to figure out what's going on- a never ending job.

Freshly cleaned and lined.

3'7" x 5'9"

Date of Manufacture

This fine antique Bokhara nim suzani from 1860 is a Central Asian textile created with silk embroidery on a cotton ground, measuring 110 cm by 176 cm. The rectangular hanging displays dense tambour stitch embroidery in shades of red, pink, green, and blue on a cream background, featuring large floral medallions and undulating vine borders. Each blossom is worked in dual tones of blue-red and orange-red, complemented by sweeping green vines and geometric framing lines. The textile has a freshly cleaned and lined finish, with visible signs of age including subtle textile variation and organic dye depth. In a modern home, this piece works wonderfully as an energetic wall hanging placed above a bed or styled within a Glastonbury Boho interior scheme.

FAQs

A Bokhara Suzani is a traditional hand-embroidered decorative textile originating from the Bokhara region of Uzbekistan, characterised by intricate floral motifs, circular medallions, and vibrant silk thread embroidery on a woven base fabric.

Suzanis are typically constructed using narrow strips of hand-loomed cotton or linen ground fabric stitched together, decorated with silk embroidery thread applied via chain stitch or basma couch stitch using natural vegetable dyes.

Authentic historic suzanis feature visible seams where separately embroidered narrow panels are aligned and stitched together, subtle colour variations from natural plant dyes, and irregular hand-stitched details rather than uniform machine embroidery.

Interior designers frequently display suzanis as textile wall art mounted above beds or sideboards, drape them over upholstered sofas and armchairs, or frame them behind acrylic to introduce colour and pattern to contemporary spaces.

To preserve historic silk embroidery, display textiles away from direct sunlight and moisture, avoid hanging by raw tension without uniform mounting support, and consult a qualified textile conservator for specialized dry cleaning.
