About the Item
A riot of color and pattern, this 19th-century Uzbeki Suzani is the kind of textile that stops you in your tracks. Hand-stitched in brilliant shades of fuchsia, indigo, green, orange, and pink, its surface bursts with stylized flowers and swirling vines, each petal and tendril radiating life and movement. A bold border echoes the central design, creating a rhythmic, kaleidoscopic frame. The embroidery dances across six narrow panels of hand-woven linen, carefully joined to form one glorious whole. Traditionally made by brides and their families as part of a dowry, suzanis weren’t just decoration—they were symbols of hope, protection, and pride. The word suzani comes from the Persian for “needle,” but the word hardly does justice to the artistry involved. Old examples like this one—bursting with soul, story, and saturated color—are increasingly rare and wildly collectible. A masterpiece of folk art, and a joy to live with.
A custom wall cleat, fabricated by a company that creates mounts for museums and galleries nationwide, attaches to Velcro strips hand-stitched into a lining on the back of the Suzani.
