Flicker Stitching adds depth and movement to this extraordinary suzani

The unusually long proportions lend this piece a distinctly architectural presence

Hand loomed black silk ground with hand embroidered silk medallions in shades of red

The silk hook/chain stitches are in the shades of tomato

The unusual coloration gives the textile a distinctly elevated and painterly quality—bold in contrast

Rendered in a vivid yet balanced palette of brick red

The contrast between the saturated tones and the softness of the silk creates a quiet vibrancy—warm

Central Bukhara star medallion surrounded by floral motifs in traditional chain stitch

A truly exceptional all-silk Suzani
