Framed antique suzani, camel & blue

This framed antique suzani was made from a fabulous fragment of a 19th-century suzani textile. from the Silk Road city of Bukhara, Uzbekistan. 

The design features rare and beautiful, almost modern-seeming colours of blues, reds and greens against the camel background. I particularly love the little striped chillis, they're meant to protect the home against the 'Evil Eye'.

The suzani fabric is first carefully mounted onto light blue linen for structural integrity and contrast, then set within a bespoke oak tray frame handcrafted by our framers in Bristol, UK. Ready to hang and designed to endure.

Details: 

• Silk embroidery thread on cotton fabric, mounted on 100% heavyweight linen
• Oak frame approximately 45.5 cm (width) x 85.5 cm (height) x 4.5 cm (depth) 
• Corded and ready for wall hanging (orientation can easily be changed with basic hand tools)
  
• Excellent antique condition; however, please note there are some very minor stains as shown in the photos
