Lot Essay

Like the previous lot, the dense embroidery on this suzani is typical of the work of Pskent. The arrangement of motifs on this embroidery, as well as the black and yellow chevrons in some of the flowerheads, somewhat resemble examples sold Rippon Boswell, Wiesbaden, 24 November 2013, lot 139 and 30 November 2013, lot 86.
