About the Item
This large 19th century Suzani embroidery is an exceptional example of Central Asian textile artistry, originating from Uzbekistan. Composed of silk embroidery on a cotton ground, this monumental piece measures nearly 5 by 8 1/2 ft and is formed from five joined panels. The design features an intricate arrangement of floral and vine motifs, rendered in vivid, contrasting colors that demonstrate both technical mastery and aesthetic refinement. The composition reflects the traditional symbolism of fertility, abundance, and protection often found in 19th-century suzani textiles.
The embroidery showcases the delicate yet deliberate stitch-work characteristic of Uzbek needlecraft traditions, emphasizing rhythmic repetition and balance within the design. Its large scale and harmonious palette suggest that it may have been created for a ceremonial or dowry purpose, marking it as a significant cultural artifact. This suzani embodies the rich artistic heritage of Central Asia and stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of hand-crafted textile art.
