Description

This lovely group of suzani border fragments were no doubt originally part of a great piece. The complexity of the embroidery and the fine drawing reveals a special artistic hand. But what makes them so explosively beautiful is the exquisite colouring. In particular, the pale green which appears in roundels on two of the pieces is both very rare and extremely beautiful, while the burnt orange, more commonly seen on Bokhara suzanis, is equally eye-catching. There is also very elegant flow to the design and a unifying consistency about the four pieces which make them work very well as a group. I can imagine several ways in which they could be used. One possibility is as a set mounted on the wall, laid either in landscape or portrait format. Alternatively one might mount them separately. Otherwise they could just be used flexibly on furniture or tables. Wherever they would go, they would look special, adding colour and style to your decorative scheme. Three of the pieces measure 119cm x 27cm, and one measures 124cm x 27cm. They are available individually or as a set.

Date of Manufacture

Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs has dated these Antique Suzani Border Fragments to the 1850s.

FAQs

Suzani is a type of embroidered tribal textile traditionally made in Uzbekistan and other parts of Central Asia. Historically, large suzanis were crafted by brides as part of their dowry, often featuring symbolic floral and celestial motifs.

Authentic antique Suzanis typically feature hand-embroidered silk thread work executed in tambour, satin, or couching stitches on a hand-woven cotton or sometimes linen foundation fabric.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-spun natural-dyed threads, irregularities in stitch work, hand-loomed ground fabrics with characteristic aging, and natural oxidation of the fibres, distinguishing them from modern machine-made reproductions.

Fragments are frequently mounted and framed as wall art to preserve the fabric while showcasing the intricate embroidery patterns as a focal point in a living room, hallway, or study.

Antique textiles should be kept away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of natural dyes and mounted using archival, acid-free methods. Professional conservation framing or gentle dusting with a soft brush helps maintain their integrity.
