19th Century Fine Bokhara Nim Suzani 110 x 176cm / 3'7" x 5'9"

A really outstanding example of the genre, in excellent condition. Extremely fine embroidery bustles and barges for space in this half size embroidery. Each red blossom is made up of two different reds, a blue red and an orange red, that are very similar tonally and when laid side by side, the effects are extraordinary- and beautiful. It adds so much depth and movement which is the hallmark of a great suzani. Ample use of green is very attractive too, with the vines whizzing and speeding around the small confines with dizzying velocity. It's a powerful little embroidery and I love it. A great display piece that will continually entertain you as you try to figure out what's going on- a never ending job.
Freshly cleaned and lined.
