Suzani, Uzbekistan – Crafted in Uzbekistan along the edge of the southern steppes, this stunning antique Suzani is a prototypical example of this extraordinary domestic handcraft, which has found a place in today’s eclectic interiors. Meandering embroidery stitches scroll across the pristine eggshell-white ground creating a multitude of shapes and textures. Impeccable satin stitches in cerise, glaucous blue, jadeite and golden-yellow form heavily shaded blossoms and wheel-shaped rosettes. Chain-stitch outlines gently confine the decorative botanical ornaments producing a stunning cloisonne effect that enhances the swirling, curving designs and rounded scroll work shapes. Large-scale blossoms, dainty budlets and graceful fronds of foliage are skillfully arranged in a formal composition with a well-defined field and congenial borders that match the expressive mood. These lush, graphically inclined floral decorations have brilliant complementary colors and strong ethnographic qualities that are welcome in modern spaces.
