Suzani Embroidery

102108blackvelvet2.jpgYurdan is a great resource for traditional Suzani pieces - for use as wall hangings, bedspreads, furniture throws, pillows, or tablecloths. For those seeking to make their homes more colorful while preserving cultural traditions, these pieces have become a more commonplace element of modern decor. While often steeped in reds and blues, our favorite is this - a black velvet background with colors swirling throughout.

There are a bunch of dealers on eBay that sell suzani's - these are nothing special. It is very hard to find something that has the "good" characteristics of a tribal piece.

Also, the featured item is machine made - that type always is.
