Omg the rarity!
Not only the delicate lilac colour, nor the many medallion motifs emblazoning this glorious piece - but the silk on silk suzanis are almost non-existent today!
They are definitely dying breed. Which leads me to believe this suzani was very specifically made for the celebration of a precious occasion.
Given the rare colour, I'm doubtful it was a wedding. Perhaps, more likely, the birth of a child or children (probably girls)
Which makes me smile so much!
What a truly special piece.
What a glorious textile to have in your home. Perfect as wall art or used in a nursery, or just a precious, delicate statement piece in your home.
