Antique Silk Ikat Chapan Coat No. 58

This exceptional silk ikat chapan coat from Uzbekistan dates to the mid-19th century and stands as a striking example of Central Asian textile artistry. The coat features a bold, large-scale ikat design in vivid purple and white, created using a meticulous resist-dyeing technique that embodies the cultural richness and visual drama characteristic of Uzbek weaving traditions.

The exterior is handwoven silk ikat, while the interior is lined in printed cotton for comfort and structure. A finely woven decorative tape trims the edges, adding a subtle frame to the dramatic pattern.

This chapan is not only wearable but also ideal for display as a textile art piece.
