Vintage Suzani 195
The name suzani comes from the Persian word suzan, which means needle.
A suzani is a hand embroidered textile panel originating from nomadic tribes in Central Asia.
They’ve become highly desirable and valued for their fine craftsmanship and beautiful colours.
Suzanis have a symbolic significance and were traditionally made by brides and their mothers a part of a dowry, and presented to the groom on his wedding day. They represented the binding together of the two families and are adorned with symbols of luck, health, long life and fertility
Ideally a suzani should be hung flat on a wall, but they work great for upholstery too! Headboards, ottomans or small occasional chairs. Do not be tempted to wash them yourself because they can be extremely fragile.
Speciality cleaning or dry clean only
168 x 116 cm
Please note: This is a vintage item and you should expect to see evidence of wear, potentially some reparations and slight ‘imperfections’, which I believe add to the character and charm of it.
