Description

This is a beautiful sari, dating I believe from the 1930s, which is made from fine silk, in turquoise and red shades, and with a woven brocaded design in golden thread typical of Varanasi in northern India. It has the traditional wide border at one end, which has a design of botehs and carnations and other motifs from Indian embroidery.

The main part of the sari is decorated with rows of small flowers, and the long edge has a gold border 6 1/2 inches wide. The fabric is quite heavy because of the amount of gold thread.

The measurements are: Length 6 yds. 24 inches
Width 45 inches.

This is a truly elegant and magnificent sari, in excellent condition and suitable for a very special occasion or a collection of Indian textiles.
