Back
An outstanding antique Uzbek Bukhara silk suzani fragment (stitched on a canvas ready to be mounted) dating to the mid 19th century. The embroidery is exceptional chain-stitched silk on karbos ground. The colours are breathtaking with various shades of red, petrol, yellow, apricot and gold all derived from natural dyes. It is probably a border section of magnificent nim suzani. The meandering golden vines weave around two gorgeous disc gols with golden shrubs. There is enough there for one to imagine the beauty of the larger piece it once belonged to. It is nicely stitched on a beige fabric ready to be stretched on a frame. It will make a beautiful central Asian textile art wall hanging for any home. Size: of the embroidery 53cm x 20cm (21”x8”) and the back fabric is 64cm x 53cm (25” x 21”)
