Vintage Uzbek Suzani Embroidered Textile

This is a large-format vintage Suzani textile, likely originating from Uzbekistan, measuring approximately 96 by 88 inches. The piece features a striking 'bolin' or moon-style circular composition, dominated by a large central sunburst medallion ringed by concentrically arranged borders. The construction consists of hand-embroidered silk or high-quality cotton thread onto a foundation of narrow-loomed cotton fabric strips sewn together—a traditional method for Central Asian textiles of this scale. The primary color palette is bold and warm, utilizing deep madder red, ochre yellow, and black, accented by vibrant pops of fuchsia, teal green, and indigo blue. Notable design elements include stylized solar motifs, 'boteh' (paisley-like) floral buds, and 'S' shaped scrolling tendrils that symbolize fertility and protection. The embroidery is executed in dense chain stitch and tambour work, indicative of high-level craftsmanship. Despite its vintage age, estimated to be mid-20th century, the item is described as being in perfect condition with no visible fading, thread loss, or staining. The density of the stitching and the saturation of the dyes suggest a piece made for a significant ceremonial occasion, such as a bridal dowry. The edges are finished with a floral scroll border that anchors the central geometric explosion.
