These suzani textile panels are vintage and around 100 years old. ‘Suzani’ is a large hand embroidered textile panel, the word comes from the Persian word ‘SUZAN’ which menas ‘Needle’.

Suzani is a type of embroidered and decorative tribal textile made in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan. These hand embroidered vintage suzanis are infused with the character that only comes from everyday use. Originating from nomadic tribes suzani’s have become highly collectable and valued for their beautiful decoration and fine craftsmanship. 

When do Suzani’s date from?

The rigours of a nomadic life style-daily use in a yurt and exposure to the elements during migration were not conductive to the preservation of textiles. 

This means it is rather unusual to find “old” suzanis and the oldest surviving examples are from the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Although this piece has been preserved to the best of our capacity but there are still some minor imperfections due to age.

Display & Care:

Ideally a suzani should be hung flat on a wall. Do not be tempted to wash them yourself, because they can be fragile. 

The best way to clean or restore your suzani is to contact an institution that specializes in textile which can recommend an experienced

 restorer or at the very least point you in the right direction.
