Some may think that they spent a fortune on it. If you are a collector or a dealer of art this is an excellent opportunity to purchase for your own investment. Women have been doing embroidery work for thousands of years, in fact in very early England and then America too, a young respectable girl was started at a very early age to learn how to embroidery and that would be one of her "good qualities" when it came time to marry her off. It was unheard of for a woman back in those times not to know how to do needlepoint. The Portuguese, Dutch and English have been known for their beautiful designs of embroidery. OureBay store DESERT-of-SUZANI would like to present to you the piece of hand embroideries - Samarkand suzani. Suzani - wall clothes take a key place in Samarkand embroidery. A feature of the Samarkand embroidery suzani is the colour palette on a white or red background, having formed at the turn of centuries. It is hardly possible to connect this change with new aesthetic views of embroiderers, more likely, it was caused by practical factors - difficulties of green threads painting. As we know, to be painted in green, the threads were first painted in yellow (by means of isparak), then the threads were put in indigo solution, which always was hard-to-get dye. Indigo was imported from India, and painting was carried out in special painting workshops. Due to expensive technology, dark blue color has been always used just for a few details. Obviously, by the end of the 19th century, in Samarkand could occurred problems with indigo, what led to substitution of green colour by black. The black paint taken from mallow, remained more accessible. Another group of Samarkand suzani patterns consists of identical blossoming bushes on a central field. The blossoming bush is a classic motif, widespread in art of the Muslim East. It is used in wood painting and carving, ganch carving, ceramics, embroidery and carpets. However, this composition - strict rows of bushes is characteristic only for the embroidery. Not accenting the problem of its genesis, the scholars, paying attention to this composition, noted: "Numerous suzani and bolinpushes with new, for Samarkand, patterns - rows of bushes had appeared by the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century" . Searching for analogies can throw light on this issue. Similar compositions could be revealed in the Bukhara embroidery and in Shrub rugs from Kerman (Iran) . Such sudden occurrence of this composition in Samarkand suzani enables to guess its borrowed character - probably, under influence of the Bukhara embroidery and imported carpets, which patterns the local embroiderers tried to imitate. However, interpretation of various bushes reveals original local character. ebay store desert of suzani ebay store desert of suzani ebay store desert of suzani ebay store desert of suzani ebay store desert of suzani ebay store desert of suzani ebay store desert of suzani ebay store desert of suzani ebay store desert of suzani of suzani ebay store desert of suzani ebay store desert of suzani Handling and airmail anywhere in the world costs $39 (also this sum including the cost state tax for the Ministry of culture of Republic Uzbekistan ).
