Originating from the Bukhara region around 1880, this antique Uzbek gentleman's chapan coat is a padded winter robe fashioned in the Central Asian style from becasab silk with silk warps and cotton wefts, polished with beeswax. The garment displays a T-shape silhouette with wide sleeves and flared side gores, decorated with a geometric ikat pattern in crimson red, yellow, and green on a cream ground. Signs of historic use are present, along with a cotton lining that has been replaced at some point in the coat's history. Measuring 120 cm high by 156 cm wide and 1 cm deep, the coat makes a striking display piece when hung flat above a sideboard in a living room, hallway, or study today.

FAQs

A chapan is a traditional Central Asian outer robe worn historically across Uzbekistan, handwoven using the ikat resist-dyeing method on silk or cotton threads.

These garments were traditionally constructed from hand-spun silk and cotton yarns, creating fabrics such as adras or bekasab using natural plant and insect dyes.

Authentic period chapans feature narrow loom-width panels stitched vertically, hand-sewn printed cotton linings, and natural dye variations in the ikat pattern.

Antique chapans are frequently mounted flat on acrylic displays, hung from timber rods, or presented inside shallow perspex box frames as large-scale textile wall art.

Keep the garment away from direct sunlight and high humidity, refrain from wet cleaning, and consult a professional textile conservator for archival mounting.
