Silk Ikat Chapan, Tajikstan, Late 19th Century.

About the Item

Chapans are probably the most famous Central Asian fashion garments made from mostly ıkats, either pure silk and lined with cotton, or silk war and cotton weft , again with a cotton lining. This is an antique and used chapan therefore it is not in brand new condition. Info on Ikat Chapans: Ikat chapans are beautiful traditional garments that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Central Asia, particularly among Turkic and Persian-speaking peoples. A chapan is a type of long, robe-like coat that has been worn for centuries across Central Asia, including countries like Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. The "ikat" part refers to the distinctive tie-dye or resist-dye technique used to create the fabric. Ikat is a method where the yarns are dyed before being woven into the fabric, creating intricate, often geometric patterns. The technique is known for its vibrant, slightly blurred patterns that add a unique character to the finished textile. Ikat chapans are often made from silk or cotton, and the patterns can range from bold, geometric shapes to more floral or abstract designs. These garments are usually worn during special occasions, festivals, or ceremonies, as they symbolize status and elegance. The chapan’s luxurious and intricate design reflects the wearer’s cultural identity and appreciation for craftsmanship.
