About the Item

This vibrant vintage Indian hand-embroidered textile draws inspiration from Persian Suzanis, reinterpreted through a distinctly South Asian lens. A grid of large, bold floral medallions fills the field in rhythmic precision, each flower bursting with life and stitched in bright tones of indigo, black, yellow, green, and white—all set against a saturated red background. The composition is framed by a simple border featuring a zigzag stripe interwoven with stylized floral forms, adding movement and balance. Traditionally, Suzanis are embroidered textiles from Central Asia, particularly Uzbekistan, often created by brides and their families as part of a dowry and used for decoration or ceremonial purposes. This Indian version captures the spirit of that tradition while showcasing regional techniques and a uniquely vivid palette. Hand-stitched with remarkable care and symmetry, this piece reflects a deep cultural appreciation for ornament, symbolism, and craft—an exuberant fusion of Persian influence and Indian artistry.
