Late 20th Century Vintage Middle Eastern Suzani Quilted Turkish Textile

About the Item

Middle Eastern end of the bed quilted textile with appliqué, elegant Moorish design in black, deep red and beige. Ideal to use as a tablecloth on a centre or console table, on the back of a sofa or at the foot of a bed, as a wall hanging decoration, or head board. Middle Eastern prayer rug or floor spread textile. Suzani style Folk Art Middle Eastern Turkish textile, hand sewn aplique cotton. Size: 34 inches H x 75 inches L. Handcrafted in Turkey. A magnificent work of artistry, the Suzani stands as a testament to the ancient craft of hand-embroidery. Hailing from the nomadic tribes of Central Asia, its name finds its roots in the Farsi word "suzanikari," meaning needle and needlework. These exquisite textile panels have transcended time, gaining reverence and acclaim for their remarkable adornment and meticulous craftsmanship. Suzanis hold profound symbolic meaning, as they were traditionally created by brides and their mothers as an integral part of a dowry, presented to the groom on the auspicious day of their wedding. Symbolizing the harmonious union of two families, these vibrant creations were embellished with motifs of good fortune, well-being, longevity, and fertility, infusing them with an aura of profound significance. Having encountered the exquisite Suzanis from Uzbekistan, my admiration for the meticulous craftsmanship involved in their creation has grown even stronger over time. The appreciation I hold for the skilled artistry required to produce such magnificent pieces has deepened with every passing moment. We have the immense privilege to have adorn a wall in my home with a resplendent Suzani, an item that encapsulates beauty and heritage in a truly remarkable manner. Rugs and textiles possess a remarkable ability to forge connections with us, becoming cherished companions as we spend time appreciating them as works of art. It is awe-inspiring to contemplate the boundless talent and creativity of the individuals who crafted these pieces. Both men and women push their limits to fashion these marvelous objects, intended to captivate our eyes, touch our hearts, and stimulate our minds. As passionate seekers of collectors who share our deep appreciation for the treasures we encounter during our travels, we derive immense joy from discovering and acquiring these objects, many of which have graced our personal collection. However, there comes a time when we must pass them on to new owners, allowing them to embark on their own adventures. We sincerely hope that as you spend time with and study these magnificent items, you will also come to cherish the love and individuality imbued by the talented artists who brought them to life.
