Description
Height: 40 centimetres (16 inches) Width: 40 centimetres (16 inches) Suzani is a traditional form of Central Asian embroidery. The word 'suzan' is derived from the Persian word for needle, & the term Suzani in this cultural context covers a range of handmade embroideries including bedspreads, wall hangings, tablecloths, & pillowcases. These items were traditionally made by women & included as part of their dowry for marriage. The designs contain motifs that reflect this rite of passage, with symbols of fertility, fecundity, cosmology, & the tree of life amongst many others. A distinctive feature of the craftsmanship in the Bukhara region is the use of hook-work (also known as crochet) as a technique alongside the traditonal neeedlwork in our embroidery. This technique increases the clarity of the images in the design, adding volume & sharpness to the motifs. It also improves the quality of the embroidery itself, making it more durable & hard-wearing. The silk threads on a silk fabric create a rich & lustrous finish to the embroidery that makes it not only stand out, but also long-lasting. Natural dyes & synthetic dyes are both available & contribute to a palette of the finest & most light-fast of colours. We are thrilled to be able to offer you a wide range of hand-made Suzani embroideries with both needle & hook - work techniques, made by local small-scale workshops in Bukhara & the surrounding areas. This enterprise of reaching out to new clients beyond the locality helps to sustain this important traditonal craft through private commissions, wholesale & retail sales. It also helps to spread the knowledge & appreciation of the Suzani technique & its importance in Central Asian culture. Each Suzani we offer is a hand-made work & is completely unique. With this in mind, when you purchase a Suzani, it is an irreplicable object that will certainly bring an authentic & timeless sense of beauty to whomever becomes its owner. Please note that these are extremely sensitive textiles & are DRY CLEAN ONLY. Please also be sure to share you TELEPHONE NUMBER with us when placing & order as this is CRUCIAL for the secure delivery of your item.
