Antique Suzani Runner – Hand Embroidered in Silk
This authentic vintage Central Asian Suzani panel showcases intricate, traditional hand-embroidery featuring classic floral vines, pomegranates, and a prominent asymmetrical paisley (boteh) motif. Handcrafted on a natural cream cotton or linen ground, the textile employs chain and satin stitching in a rich, time-honored palette of deep reds, forest greens, ochres, and indigo blues. Reflecting its heritage and domestic use, the piece exhibits the unique, subtle variations in weave, tension, and gentle aging characteristic of genuine antique textiles. It serves as a striking cultural accent, suitable for display as a wall hanging, furniture throw, or decorative table runner.
Suzanis were traditionally handmade by family members as symbolic textile art for dowries and celebrations. Given its vertical orientation and rich texture, this piece functions exceptionally well as a decorative wall hanging, but it can also be adapted as a runner for furniture.
100% silk thread embroidery on a hand-woven cotton base.
