This exquisite silk ikat chapan from Uzbekistan dates to the early 20th century and exemplifies the bold visual language of Central Asian textile traditions. Hand-dyed using the resist-dye ikat technique, the robe features striking vertical bands of hot pink, saffron orange, moss green, and soft blush—arranged in a rhythmic, painterly sequence.
The exterior is crafted from silk ikat, while the interior is fully lined in silk, providing a luxurious drape and finish. A narrow woven trim accents the sleeve cuffs and edges. Please note that there is a minor visible stain, consistent with the age and authenticity of the piece.
This chapan is wearable, but we also highly recommend it as a display textile. See below for framing and shipping details.

Framing & Shipping Note
This chapan is sold as a wearable or collectible textile with standard shipping included. If you would like to have it professionally framed for wall display, please contact us before purchasing for a quote. Framing involves sewing the chapan onto a custom-sized wooden frame covered in linen or cotton fabric. Additional charges apply for both the framing service and the increased shipping costs due to the size and packaging.
