An Uzbek Silk on Silk Suzani Embroidery, 19th Century.
Approximately 145 x 111cm
The embroidery in this particular piece features bold floral motifs and swirling vine-like patterns, characteristic of 19th-century Suzani designs. The large, vivid flowers, in shades of deep red, pink, blue, and light green, are arranged symmetrically, giving the fabric a sense of balance and harmony. The central panel is framed by an elaborate border, filled with similarly detailed floral patterns, creating a rich and vibrant visual effect.
Silk threads are skilfully embroidered onto a silk background, adding a luxurious sheen and a delicate texture to the overall design. Suzani pieces like this were often used for ceremonial purposes, such as weddings or as dowry items, and sometimes functioned as wall hangings or bed coverings.
