Product details:

• Lucknow, in Uttar Pradesh, is the center of chikan embroidery, renowned for its timeless grace and its gossamer delicacy, a skill more than 200 years old.
• A study of the origin of chikan reveals that this form of embroidery had come to India from Persia with Noor Jehan, the queen of the Mughal emperor Jehangir. The chikankari embroidery found a place in the prestigious homes in Europe, specimens of which are still available. The design to be embroidered is printed on the fabric with wooden blocks or brass blocks using fugitive colors. The chikan embroidery has a repertoire of about 40 stitches of which only 30 are still being used. These can be broadly divided into 3 heads- flat, raised and open trellis like jaali work. The patterns are mostly inspired by Mughal culture.
