This lovely vintage South Indian silk embroidery is a refined example of understated elegance and textile mastery. Woven in a soft olive-gold silk, the fabric is delicately adorned with subtle, geometric hand-embroidered patterns, most likely using fine zari thread, which gives the surface a gentle shimmer without overwhelming its quiet sophistication.
The design features a rhythmic lattice of small, repeated floral or star-like motifs, arranged in a grid formation and bordered with a finely stitched linear frame. The muted palette and tonal embroidery create a meditative effect, highlighting the artisan’s skill in precision and restraint.
Traditionally used for ceremonial or festive attire, these textiles reflect the richness of South Indian weaving traditions, particularly from regions such as Tamil Nadu or Karnataka. This piece would make a beautiful wall hanging, shawl, or framed textile artwork ideal for those who appreciate minimalist design infused with cultural depth and heritage.
Authentic vintage and antique Indian embroideries are handwoven with silk. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.
Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.
Our textiles are professionally cleaned.
