Hand-embroidered in the historic city of Kerman in southwest Persia around the turn of the 20th century, this exquisite **Suzani—also known as Termeh embroidery—**is a refined example of Persia’s most sophisticated domestic textile arts. Created entirely by hand using silk and cotton threads on a deep red cloth ground, the piece displays a vibrant, harmonious palette of indigo blue, royal purple, saffron yellow, and warm brown. Suzanis of this caliber were traditionally made for auspicious household occasions, including weddings, dowries, and ceremonial gatherings, where they were used as table covers, ceremonial cloths, and decorative furnishings. Each motif and color was selected not only for beauty, but for its symbolic meaning—prosperity, protection, fertility, and continuity—making every piece a cultural document as well as a decorative work of art. The embroidery exhibits remarkable precision and fluidity, with scrolling floral and medallion forms that reflect Kerman’s long legacy as a center of Persian textile refinement. The luminous silk threads catch the light beautifully, giving the surface a subtle dimensionality and elegance. Today, this antique Suzani makes a striking statement as wall tapestry art, as well as an extraordinary table covering.
