About the Item
Handwoven in and embroidered in wool and believed to originate from the nomadic textile traditions of Uzbekistan in the last quarter of the 19th century, this 4x6 antique embroidered textile and rug is a rich and breathtaking window into Central Asian history. A one-of-a-kind curation for the Rug
Kilim collection, its construction is a fabulous representation of time-honored needlework in Central Asian cultures, showcasing a level of artisanal patience and rhythmic precision among some of the most collectible tribal works of its era.
On the Design:
This antique Uzbek embroidery is a poetic masterwork of sacred geometry and tribal symbolism, featuring a rhythmic repeat of rectangular medallions that seem to pulsate against their deep, earthen-brown ground. Each medallion serves as a protective "shield," divided into four vibrant quadrants that house stylized ram’s horn and floral motifs—ancient icons of power, fertility, and the flourishing of life.
The color palette is a brilliant, saturated dialogue of terracotta red, sun-drenched yellow, ivory, and lapis blue, rendered with the rich, matte depth and organic warmth unique to hand-spun wool. Keen eyes will admire the "bleeding" effect of the hand-embroidered edges, a soulful detail that lends the geometric repeat a sense of fluid, organic movement. More than a textile, this piece is a labor of love and a dimensional work of tribal architecture—a sophisticated, storied statement that captures the joyful, expressive spirit of the Central Asian Silk Road at its peak.
Condition:
This antique Uzbek rug further enjoys good condition for its origin and age—both ready for the floor and ideal for wall-hanging projects as a tapestry alike.
