About the Item
78136 Rare Late 19th Century Antique Uzbek Bukhara Prayer Suzani Tapestry, 04'06 x 07'00. Step into the realm of sacred artistry with this Late 19th Century Antique Uzbek Bukhara Prayer Suzani Tapestry, an exquisite textile that embodies both spiritual devotion and the opulence of Central Asia’s noble traditions. Hand-embroidered by Bukhara’s master artisans, this rare Suzani was created not merely as decoration, but as a ceremonial object imbued with symbolic meaning. Such prayer suzanis were revered in elite households, often presented as part of a bride’s dowry to bestow blessings, fertility, and divine protection upon her new home. Today, its scarcity elevates it to the status of a museum-quality collectible, a true prize for discerning connoisseurs.
At the center of this magnificent textile lies a mihrab-shaped arch, its pointed form echoing the sacred niches of Islamic prayer architecture, symbolizing the gateway to divine presence. Framing the arch are radiating sunburst rosettes in deep crimson and burnished maroon, their serrated edges representing the sun’s life-giving energy and eternal renewal. Delicately embroidered scrolling vine motifs weave between the rosettes, conveying protection, abundance, and the interconnectedness of all life. The contrast of inky blacks, vibrant reds, and emerald accents on a soft ivory ground gives the piece an aura of regal refinement, characteristic of Bukhara’s most prestigious embroidery workshops.
The craftsmanship reflects Bukhara’s reputation as the pinnacle of Uzbek suzani production. Each stitch of shimmering silk thread was carefully placed, the bold graphic patterns balanced by the fluidity of the vine work. The symmetry and proportion of the design — from the rhythmic rosettes to the gracefully arched niche — speak to a level of technical mastery achieved only by the most skilled artisans. This textile was not just made; it was orchestrated, each signature motif a silent prayer for prosperity, protection, and the well-being of those it adorned.
For the modern collector, this one-of-a-kind, exquisite work of art is far more than an artifact; it is an experience in exclusivity, a tangible link to a world of spiritual and cultural grandeur. With suzanis of this age and quality becoming increasingly rare, it represents an unparalleled opportunity to own a fragment of Central Asia’s noble heritage. Whether displayed as a wall hanging in a refined interior or preserved as a treasured collectible, it radiates history, prestige, and timeless elegance — a textile worthy of the world’s most distinguished collections.
