The Burrell Collection holds a remarkable group of Suzani, richly embroidered textiles from Central Asia. Traditionally created as celebrations of marriage and family, these beautiful textiles reflect the exchange of artistic influences between Uzbekistan and other cultures along the historic Silk Road.
Rich in colour, intricate pattern and stylised botanical and floral motifs, Suzani have an immediate decorative appeal. Their bold compositions and exquisite detail offer exciting potential for gift wrap, textiles, stationery, cards, homewares and other pattern-led products.
