Collector Antique real zari veg dyed Banarasi

Champa yellow coloured antique pure Katan silk Banarasi with real silver zari motifs in Kadhua / Kadwa technique. The dye for the base fabric is extracted from marigold. This sari is an epitome of class and sophistication. This was especially woven for the curator's grandmother in pure silver zari, without borders, both of which was not the norm in those days. Extra 1.5 metre material attached at first tuck for length. The sari has a beautiful texture true to its handmade legacy and has two tiny holes at the right when draped over chest due to age as depicted in the pictures. The design element of this sari makes this classic Banarasi a true collector item. Has been in the family for over two generations.
