This vintage Uzbek Suzani is hand-embroidered in silk on a cotton ground, featuring an elegant field of repeating circular medallions arranged in a beautifully structured composition. Suzani textiles have been an important part of Central Asian domestic life for centuries, traditionally embroidered by women as part of a bride’s dowry and used to decorate the home.

The design is formed by rows of large rosette medallions connected by delicate floral and vine motifs, creating a harmonious rhythm across the textile. Each medallion contains finely stitched details that radiate outward from the centre, giving the piece a sense of movement while maintaining a strong geometric structure.

What makes this Suzani particularly remarkable is its colour palette. Soft blush and sand tones are paired with gentle sage greens, ivory and muted olive, creating a refined and highly unusual colourway rarely seen in traditional examples. The silk embroidery catches the light subtly against the cotton ground, giving the textile depth and a soft lustre.

An exceptionally balanced and sophisticated Suzani, both in its composition and its rare palette.
