19th century

Sold by Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs

Description

'Suzani' is the Farsi word for needlework which refers to the wonderful art of silk embroidery which flourished in Uzbekistan during the 18th and 19th centuries. This is a lovely fragment from an early Bokhara suzani. The silk embroidery is finely worked on a cotton background, The exotic flowers and tendrils are beautifully drawn and the colours are exquisite. I particularly like the gold outlining to the motifs which gives the piece its' light and happy feeling. This piece would look wonderful either mounted or adorning a coffee table.
