Antique Parsi Gara Hand Embroidered Dupatta

A rare heirloom of exceptional artistry, this Antique Parsi Gara Hand Embroidered Dupatta represents one of the most refined and historically significant embroidery traditions of the Indian subcontinent.
Hand embroidered using the classical Parsi Gara technique, the dupatta features intricate birds, florals, and flowing botanical vines inspired by 18th-century Chinese silk embroideries. Each motif is meticulously rendered using fine satin stitch and long-and-short stitch, creating depth, movement, and a painterly finish that is unmistakably Gara.
Set against a deep black base, the vibrant yet balanced palette highlights the extraordinary detailing of the embroidery. Every element is executed entirely by hand using silk threads, requiring months of skilled craftsmanship. Parsi Gara embroidery is revered for its precision, density, and storytelling motifs, and is widely regarded as one of the most time-intensive and valuable forms of hand embroidery.
Historically commissioned as family heirlooms, Parsi Gara textiles were treasured across generations making each piece not just attire, but cultural legacy.
