Natural beige background, raspberry to burgundy red, and multicolored details

Exceptional early 20th-century Suzani from the heart of Central Asia. Centered by a unique eight-pointed star, while a delicate field of pink rosettes dances across a luminous beige background. The polychrome almost fully covering decoration tells a story of generations of skill, patience, and artistry. Historically, these embroideries were created by brides and their mothers as part of a wedding dowry, symbolizing prosperity, fertility, and the bond between two families. The use of natural dyes and hand-spun silk lends a soft, matte quality to the colors that is impossible to replicate with modern materials. The balanced composition and harmonious raspberry pink and beige color palette make it an exceptionally beautiful example of its kind. The condition appears consistent with a piece from the early 1900, with some signs of age that add to its character and authenticity. It’s a rare treasure.
