These wonderful handcrafted, “Suzani Textiles“, tell a family story. Originating from the nomadic tribes of Central Asia a suzani is a large textile with symbols of luck, health, long life, and fertility that are hand embroidered with fine needle work by brides and their mothers as part of a dowry. In every authentic suzani you will find a deliberate fault or an unfinished area, in hopes that the daughter will carry on and finish it. The suzani represents two families coming together.

Preserve these precious traditions with a display of a suzani as a bedcover, upholster a favorite chair, make throw pillows, make a drapery panel, use as wall art, or use as a celebratory tablecloth.
