Description

This finely worked Bokhara suzani from Uzbekistan dates to the mid-19th century. However, the design, and in particular the spandrels, reveal the influence of 17th and 18th century Indian Moghul art. As we know, the oasis khanates of Uzbekistan lay on the silk road. Artists and craftsmen of all types were constantly exposed to myriad influences which is so clearly manifested here in this elegant piece. The architectural format and its height also suggests that it was made to cover an entrance or doorway, another device very much associated with Indian decoration. Although the central plain panel has evidently been repaired, the embroidery is in excellent original condition. Lined in a grey cotton, the original ikat trimmings around the edges are intact.

Date of Manufacture

Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs has dated this Bokhara Suzani Textile to the 1860s.

A suzani is a traditional embroidered tribal textile produced in Uzbekistan and other Central Asian countries, historically crafted by brides as part of their dowry.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-spun silk or cotton embroidery threads stitched onto a cotton or linen foundation fabric, often using tambour, chain, or couching stitches.

Authenticity is generally determined by examining the natural dye variations in the silk threads, hand-spun foundation fabrics, traditional motifs, and signs of genuine age and wear in the hand-stitching.

These textiles are frequently mounted and framed as wall art, draped over sofas, or used as statement tapestries to add texture, colour, and global provenance to contemporary spaces.

Conservation requires keeping the piece out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, avoiding moisture, and mounting it on acid-free archival supports if displayed on a wall.
