Antique Uzbek Dowry Suzani

AGE: circa 1860-1890
PRICE: Please inquire

Here is a fantastic quality dowry embroidery made for the wedding bed. When things went absolutely perfectly.... the bride would start filling in the empty arch with exuberant embroidery until the time of her delivery. There probably aren't more than one of these to every hundred or maybe even a thousand plain or empty arch varieties of this format. Her e truly is an opportunity to own something that represents the ultimate in Central Asian dowry goods, a pregnancy on the wedding night represented in a special elaboration of a well documented traditional form. In some important ways this is a priceless item.
