About the Item

This early 20th-century Uzbeki Suzani is a striking example of Central Asian textile art, alive with color and meaning. At its center blooms a vivid floral medallion, surrounded by a constellation of stylized floral clusters—each hand-embroidered in brilliant shades of fuchsia, gold, green, and violet. The luminous colors pop dramatically against a rich black cotton ground, giving the entire piece a sense of depth and vibrancy. Traditionally made by women as part of a bride’s dowry, Suzanis were cherished heirlooms meant to bring prosperity, protection, and beauty to the home. The name Suzani comes from the Persian word for “needle,” and each textile is a labor of love, stitched by hand over months—sometimes years—of collective work. This example, with its bold palette and organic symmetry, reflects both the artistic spirit and cultural heritage of Uzbek craftsmanship. A stunning textile with both decorative and historic resonance.
