FAQs

An ilgich is a square embroidered wall hanging traditionally crafted by the nomadic Lakai tribe of Uzbekistan for marriage dowries during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

These textiles are typically worked on a cotton or wool ground using fine silk threads executed in chain stitch or cross stitch, often finished with woven borders and fringe tassels.

Authentic pieces feature distinct graphic motifs such as abstract solar symbols, rams horns, and spiral scrolls rendered in bold colour palettes with hand-spun threads and irregular hand stitching.

Mounting the textile inside a glass display case or hanging it as framed wall art introduces rich texture, colour, and historic pattern into contemporary, minimalist, or eclectic spaces.

Keep the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent silk fading, store in a climate-controlled area free from moisture, and clean only by gentle dusting or consulting a specialist textile conservator.
