Provenance
This vintage St. Frank piece was created in Uzbekistan. The Lakai people are a sub-tribe of the Uzbek who did not embrace Islam and maintain the traditions of mountain horseman. Abstract curved and linear forms are typical of their vibrant free-style embroidery. Abstract animal and vegetable symbols, which reflect their ancient way of life, are also common motifs. The all-over design, with dense embroidery, shows off a free flowing energy characteristic of Lakai textiles.
The embroidered textile is carefully applied to a linen substrate and bordered with a traditional linen-covered mat board. This product is available in our lucite frame. Our signature gold St. Frank plate is featured in the bottom right-hand corner of each piece..
All orders placed after 2 PM PT will be processed on the next business day.
