Modern Suzani 014

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 hugely popular in recent years due to 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.

This is a modern suzani with silk embroidery on a silk background

Perfect size for framing.
