Unfurling this beautiful vintage Suzani instantly makes you breathe more deeply and feel better about things.

Size: 210x153cm (approx)

The central motif is an exuberant sunflower bursting forth in joyful yellow. From there, the stitching seems to dance across the linen in magnificent, cheerful hues of blue, green, red, yellow and purple, beautifully tempered by neutral browns and warm shades of barley, turmeric and mustard. Delicate pomegranates — embroidered in the colour of setting plaster — add another layer of beauty and symbolic charm. Light, airy and full of optimism, this is a textile that lives up to its name.

Hand embroidered onto vintage linen by artisans continuing a centuries-old Central Asian tradition, every Suzani is completely one of a kind.

Stretch and frame it as wall art, upholster it onto a headboard or ottoman, or use it as a statement bedspread or throw. This one may be hard to let go.

As with all vintage textiles, gentle signs of age and wear are part of its history and add to its unique character.
