The combination of the lustrous silk face and the high-contrast ikat pattern makes this 19th-century Uzbek panel a highly light-responsive artwork. To highlight the "shimmer" of the golden silk threads and the depth of the quilted texture, we recommend mounting it in a space with a soft wash of light from above; this allows the vertical "arrow" patterns to appear as if they are vibrating with light against the saturated red ground. Its grand scale and energetic geometric palette make it an ideal focal point for expansive architectural spaces featuring stone, glass, or dark hardwoods. Given its 80-inch length, it can be displayed as a dramatic wall hanging or as a sophisticated structural accent over a large piece of furniture. To protect the antique silk fibers from environmental degradation, the panel should be professionally supported by a custom archival mount that distributes its weight evenly and kept away from direct sunlight to preserve the brilliance of its organic dyes.
