SOLD

Tashkent Susani
First half 20th c

High decorative. I have displayed it on a 4ft 6 in wide bed. The susani comes almost to the floor at the sides, so would be fine on a queen or king bed. It would also look good as a wall hanging.

8ft 6 in x 5ft 10 in; 2.6  x 1.78 m.



The motifs 18 in; 45 cm diameter.


Condition

Basically in very good condition. There are a couple of repairs and a small areas of light markings. Do ask for photos.
