About Bukhara Gold-Embroidered Chapan
Bukharan zar-duzi is the couched gold-thread embroidery of the emir's court, worked on velvet chapan robes from 1900 to 1950. Heavy metallic-gold bullion arabesques and palmette scrolls cover saturated dark velvet in royal purple and crimson — court regalia of dense, raised goldwork.
This design system distills that maximalist goldwork tradition into screen form: the ground is deep velvet, and the gold is the figure that animates it — raised, light-catching, and never flat.
