Description

A breathtakingly magnificent and deeply regal embellished velvet fabric in Deep Crimson Red/Ruby, featuring an extraordinarily dense all-over botanical floral spray design of museum-quality artisanal embroidery worked in antique gold zardozi thread and teal blue seed beads directly onto the sumptuous deep pile velvet ground. The deep crimson red velvet base provides a dramatically rich and intensely jewel-toned ground that makes the two-tone antique gold and teal embroidery appear to glow from within. The all-over design is a lush, naturalistic botanical composition featuring large multi-petalled flower heads — including open roses, six-petal star flowers, tulip forms, and rounded dahlia-type blooms — each rendered with extraordinary textural variety: petals worked alternately in antique gold satin stitch thread embroidery of great precision and lustre, and teal blue seed bead fill that creates a contrasting cool metallic shimmer. Between and beneath the main blooms, large pointed and ovate leaf forms are densely packed with either antique gold or teal seed beads in neat parallel rows, while fine fern frond sprigs in gold couching thread, small circular berry cluster buds, and scrolling tendril accents in fine gold couching complete the botanical vocabulary. A particularly distinctive feature of this fabric is the appearance of geometric honeycomb lattice areas — zones of fine gold couching thread worked in a precise hexagonal cell pattern — interspersed among the floral and leaf motifs, adding a unique structural texture that contrasts beautifully with the organic botanical forms and adds extraordinary visual complexity. The hem is finished with a neat flat stripe border in dark navy/black satin with two parallel silver thread lines, providing a clean and authoritative hem finish. Priced per metre, this is a fabric of the very highest prestige for the most formal bridal lehengas, luxury sherwanis, couture occasion wear, and collector-quality traditional garments.
