Dating to around 1850, this cute Bokhara Suzani is in a very unusual format, namely, the Nim-Suzani size with the architectural arch or prayer design. The silk embroidery is finely worked in different stitches. Note how the flowers rotate at different angles, which gives the design a sense of movement, Also, note the single flower at the top of the niche. The guard stripes are also elegantly drawn. The colours are light and crisp with lovely shades of magenta, terracotta, green, yellow and light blue, and a lovely aubergine which has been used sparingly in places. Clean and in very good condition. This is an absolutely charming suzani which would make a lovely wall hanging or bed cover.
