            Suzani

"Suzani" comes from the Persian word meaning needle, and for our means: Needlework. The term usually refers to extraordinary textiles from Uzbekistan, on the famed silk route in Central Asia. 

  Close-up of Suzani panel with flowers and vines and rosettes.   In such a desert area- color is a welcome

relief. These textiles are treasured home accessories and integral parts of dowries.

A silk couching stitch called bukhara or basma stitch is created by laying silk threads on the base fabric, then securing them down with short diagonal stitches.   Yes, a VERY time and talent demanding embroidery.  The silk threads can be colored with pomegranate, walnuts or other natural occurring dyes.  The marvelous sheen of silk threads and subtle variations in coloration combined with intentional variances in composition make these one of the most sought after art works demanded the world over.

We work directly with Uzbecki merchants to bring you these stunning wall hangings, bed covers, behind the bed wall hangings.  The edges are finished of and we only choose the finest quality.

                                                         Interior designer inquiries welcome.

Worthington Gallery West offers a wide range of Indian, Chinese, Afghani

and South American textiles.

Our next exhibit:  November 15-December 27, 2008
