About the Item

This exquisite 19th Century Persian Kerman Termeh Suzani is a rare and richly detailed example of traditional Persian textile artistry.

Historically used in Persian households as a luxurious table cover, this antique textile is equally stunning when displayed as a wall tapestry. The embroidery is beautifully preserved, showcasing both the skilled craftsmanship and cultural heritage of 19th-century Persia. Ideal for collectors, designers, and enthusiasts of antique global textiles, this piece brings refined elegance and historical depth to any interior.
