Antique Silk Ikat Chapan Coat No. 72

This striking mid-19th century silk ikat chapan coat from Uzbekistan showcases the bold geometric aesthetics characteristic of Central Asian textile design. The pattern features a rhythmic repetition of deep crimson circular medallions alternating with vertical bars, all rendered in the traditional resist-dye ikat technique. The crisp contrast between the crimson and ivory base highlights the precision and symmetry achieved by master dyers of the period.

The coat is unlined, reflecting an earlier and more minimal style, and is intended to be worn layered. Its graphic impact and rare large-scale pattern make it an exceptional candidate for display.
