A suzani is a large embroidered textile originating from Central Asia, traditionally made by brides as part of their dowry. These pieces feature bold botanical or geometric motifs stitched in silk on cotton or linen foundations.

How were wall hangings displayed?

Historic wall hangings and suzanis served as decorative interior coverings, domestic furnishings, or ceremonial items within homes and yurts. Modern interiors typically mount them flat on walls or frame them behind glass to protect the delicate silk threads.

How do I date a textile?

Dating relies on stylistic markers, regional design traditions, materials, and the structural characteristics of the ground fabric. Nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century pieces show specific shifts in synthetic versus natural dye use and regional motif evolution.

What is Lakai tribal work?

Lakai work originates from a specific Central Asian nomadic group recognised for energetic and unconventional embroidery designs. Their dowry pieces and horse covers utilise distinctive geometric shapes and vivid silk application.
