A green cotton base with Ivory embroidery in ‘Suzani Style’ vines. It’s a cloth with an adaptation of a Suzani embroidery, the vines you often see have been deconstructed by the artisans, and the format lends itself to being beautiful for a table. Vines running along the length of the table…

This design has an interesting and intentional distressed cotton base & we love the slightly bohemian feel of this. Layered looks with placemats on top is super chique and also smart as the first layer will catch any mishaps. 

A suzani is a large, hand-embroidered textile panel; the word comes from the Persian word suzan, which means needle. Originating from nomadic tribes in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries, suzanis have become highly collectable and valued for their beautiful decoration and fine craftsmanship.

The primary use of a suzani was within the yurt (a Central Asian nomadic tent), as a protective wrapping panel for textiles and belongings. They were also used as prayer mats, as bed sheets and for seating — pieces of furniture are seldom found in yurts, because they are cumbersome to move.

Suzanis were traditionally made by brides and their mothers as part of a dowry, and presented to the groom on his wedding day. They represented the binding together of two families, and were adorned with symbols of luck, health, long life and fertility.

These Suzanis are a modern take on a classical Cloth. Wool thread embroidery on vintage cotton cloths made by artisan craftsmen in Rajastan.
