• 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.
