About the Item

78199 Rare Late 19th Century Antique Uzbek Shakhrisyabz Suzani Tapestry, 03'07 x 05'00. Behold the majestic splendor of this Early 19th Century Antique Uzbek Shakhrisyabz Suzani Tapestry, a rare and coveted masterpiece from one of Central Asia’s most celebrated embroidery centers. Originating from Shakhrisyabz — the royal city famed for its exquisite needlework — this extraordinary textile embodies the prestige and refinement of a bygone aristocracy. Such tapestries were prized possessions of elite Uzbek families, symbols of wealth, power, and divine blessing. Today, owning a piece of this caliber is the privilege of only the most discerning collectors, as examples of this age and artistry have become nearly impossible to find. The design is a breathtaking symphony of bold circular medallions, each meticulously hand-embroidered in vibrant crimson, deep rose, and glowing coral tones that radiate like suns against the soft ivory ground. These iconic Shakhrisyabz rosettes, known as palmette medallions, are symbolic of life, abundance, and cosmic harmony, their rhythmic arrangement speaking to the order of the universe and the eternal cycle of renewal. Intertwining vines of delicate blue and green connect the medallions, imbuing the piece with a sense of movement, vitality, and spiritual protection. Every stitch exudes purpose, as if the embroiderer’s hopes and blessings for prosperity were woven into the very fabric. What sets this Shakhrisyabz Suzani apart is its extraordinary refinement and balance. The medallions are masterfully executed with remarkable symmetry, their saturated hues retaining a luminous vibrancy even after two centuries. The intricate border frames the central field like a precious jewel, its scrolling vines and smaller blossoms adding an exquisite layer of detail that reveals the technical mastery for which Shakhrisyabz embroiderers were renowned. To touch this textile is to feel the dedication and artistry of women who spent months — sometimes years — crafting a dowry piece worthy of royal courts. This Antique Shakhrisyabz Suzani is more than a decorative tapestry; it is an heirloom of cultural and historical significance. Highly sought after by connoisseurs and museum curators, it represents the pinnacle of Uzbek textile heritage, a living testament to artistry, symbolism, and the prestige of ownership. Displayed as a wall hanging, draped in a sophisticated interior, or preserved as a collector’s treasure, it commands attention and admiration. To acquire such a rare Suzani is to own a tangible piece of history — a luxurious embodiment of status, scarcity, and timeless beauty. Shakhrisyabz Suzani. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear.
