this post is about suzani, not so much about harem but I would like to start with some historic information to give you a context.

Summer residence of Emir of Bukhara: Sitorai Mohi-Hosa

The last Emir of Bukhara had his summer residence in the outskirts of Bukhara. The palace was built in the early 20th century. The style of the palace is a representation of the Emir himself - the man who stood between Eastern and Western traditions and curiously absorbed both. Russian influenced architecture of the palace was mixed with French furniture, Polish chandeliers, Chinese porcelain and Dutch heaters covered with German tiles. Colorful glass and plaster wall decorations In geometrical patterns indicate that the place belonged to a Muslim sovereign.
