Description

Original Suzani hand embroidery from Uzbekistan in Central Asia
Suzani means needlepoint in Farsi and Suzanis were originally used as mirror covers (small pieces) and for tent dividers.
Usually Cotton or Velvet background with silk embroidery.
Some pieces have old Russian fabric backing and this has been photographed too if it is present.
Quality varies from finely embroidered to less fine pieces which should be evident from the close up images.
These colourful, decorative textiles make beautiful wall hangings, bed covers or table covers
All of our Suzanis are original older pieces ranging from 20 to 70 years
One or two may have very minor tears which is normal for older Suzanis and we have tried to photograph any areas like this.
Often pen is used as a marker for layout before embroidery starts and very occasionally one can see some of the original pen outline which is normal for original pieces.
