Old Zardozi Embroidery Textile Patchwork of Antique Silk Sarees Table Runner.

I believe this textile is made of old fabulous Indian zardozi embroideries on sarees dating from the 19th century. Quantity of silver and gold metal threads make this textile heavy and luscious. Recycled into creating this beautiful table runner sometime in the 20th century. Good Vintage Condition with some wear from age and use.

Some loose threads, couple of stains at the back. In the summer of 2013 our shop featured in the BBC series Antiques Road Trip; we have also worked with prop-masters and costume designers in the film industry, supplying jewellery and antiques for productions such as Mr Holmes (with Ian Mckellan), Viceroy's House (directed by Gurinder Chadha), the upcoming Disney production Maleficient II, and the TV series Downton Abbey.
