Hand Stitched Suzani (CSSU010224 | 42 x 63")

Hand-Stitched Silk on Silk Suzani | 42" x 63"

A striking silk-on-silk Suzani from Bukhara, Uzbekistan, this hand-stitched textile centers on a bold stylized tulip motif—an enduring symbol of abundance, beauty, and renewal within Central Asian textile traditions. Dramatic in scale yet graceful in movement, the composition feels both graphic and fluid, allowing the singular botanical form to command attention with quiet confidence.

Rendered in luminous silk embroidery threads in shades of cobalt blue, coral red, dusty pink, lavender, cream, and soft rose, the tulip unfolds across a vibrant aqua-teal hand-loomed silk ground that gives the entire piece an unmistakable sense of radiance and vitality. The contrast between the cool jewel-toned ground and the warm, saturated embroidery creates a palette that feels both richly layered and unexpectedly fresh.

Hand embroidered by a single artist in a traditional chain stitch, the surface carries a remarkable sense of movement and artistry. Intricate flicker stitching throughout adds texture, depth, and subtle animation to the design, allowing the embroidery to shift beautifully as it catches the light. A complementary floral border in hues of blue and red frames the composition, grounding the bold central motif while enhancing the textile’s rhythm and balance.

There is a wonderful duality to this piece—rooted in centuries-old tradition, yet strikingly modern in its scale, color story, and graphic presence. It brings symbolism, artistry, and richly collected sophistication to any interior.
