SUZ935 Fine Decorative Vintage Kasan Suzani Embroidery 173x250cm (5.8 x 8.2½ft)

Superb quality Uzbek Suzani embroidery - a Central Asian textile from Kasan in Uzbekistan with Zoroastrian embelms. This authentic decorative needlepoint has been embroidered by hand and measures approximately 173x250cm (5.8 x 8.2½ft) - this is a very good quality piece, the colours are stunning and the needle work is fine and detailed.  We love the softer background colour against the bright embroidered motifs stitched into this Kasan textile together with the floral cotton backing on the reverse - it would look fabulous over a bed or hung on a wall as a wall decoration. Depending on the size, these Suzani textiles make great table covers, bed covers, or can be used over the back of a sofa or as a wall hanging - these vintage textiles offer a delightful pop of colour for enhancing your interior spaces.

Suzani means needlepoint in Farsi and the background fabric of these textiles is usually either cotton, velvet, silk or satin with silk embroidery. Minor tears or marks can sometimes be present which is normal for these vintage older pieces (some of them have old Soviet fabric backing - see images). All of our Uzbekistan Suzanis are original older pieces ranging from approximately 20 to 70 years. Often pen is used as a marker for layout before embroidery starts and occasionally one can see some of the original pen outline which is normal for original pieces. Find out more about Suzanis here.
