How do I hang a suzani?

Large textile panels require even weight distribution across the upper edge to prevent distortion of the fabric and threads.

Alternatively, some collectors choose custom framing behind glass, particularly for fragile fragments or smaller amulet pieces that benefit from rigid structural support.

Are these panels antique?

The pieces originate from periods spanning from the eighteenth century up to the early twentieth century.
