Measuring an impressive 14'8\" x 8'0\", this museum-quality masterpiece originates from the historic city of Khojent in Northern Tajikistan. While its strict rows of rosettes-circles set within wide leafy frames closely resemble Tashkent embroidery, this specific regional style is defined by a distinctive central rosette-star, large floral palmettes, and a wonderfully diverse array of floral forms. Rich in vegetal ornaments, this magnificent tapestry symbolizes the abundance of life and nature's splendor, reflecting the traditional folk concept of the Garden of Eden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsmanship \u0026amp; Materials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeticulously hand-crafted by skilled women weavers using fine natural threads on a crisp white ground, this large-scale antique textile showcases a unique and highly sophisticated color palette that beautifully pairs calm burgundy-purple rosettes with deep black-dark blue palmettes. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, these suzanis were essential for weddings, major holidays, and high-end home decoration, serving as a sacred protective element in a woman's life. Traditional wedding suzanis were imbued with magical properties to protect the bride and groom from evil and bring good luck, with the white background specifically signifying protection and future well-being. To safeguard the couple further, the master craftswomen often included intentional \"mistakes\"—such as misshapen contours or small blank spaces—to ward off the evil eye. Free from mass-produced modern manufacturing methods, this heirloom-quality masterpiece delivers immense historical depth and unmatched soul, serving as a breathtaking wall-mounted tapestry or a focal art piece for expansive environments designed by world-class interior professionals and architects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrand\/Curator:\u003c\/b\u003e Ariana Rugs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesign Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Antique Khojent Suzani \/ Garden of Eden Floral Motif\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e Khojent, Northern Tajikistan (Central Asia)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/b\u003e 19th Century to Early 20th Century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/b\u003e Fine Quality Hand-Embroidered Natural Threads on a Classic White Ground Field\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 14'8\" x 8'0\" (8.00 x 14.8)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShape:\u003c\/b\u003e Large Rectangular Textile Tapestry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesign Motifs:\u003c\/b\u003e Central Rosette-Star, Strict Rows of Circle Rosettes, Large Floral Palmettes, Leafy Frames\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Exceptional Antique Condition (Highly preserved legacy collector's piece)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/b\u003e 100% Authentic Hand-embroidered featuring traditional intentional \"mistakes\" to ward off the evil eye\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TRAMATI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43821309853854,"sku":"609","price":12000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0471\/1507\/5742\/files\/ariana-rugs-8x15-antique-khojent-tajik-suzani-hand-embroidered-tapestry.jpg-609-10.jpg?v=1782166961","url":"https:\/\/arianarugs.com\/products\/19th-century-antique-khojent-suzani-hand-embroidered-tapestry-ariana-rugs","provider":"Ariana Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
