Ivory Ek Taar Chikankari Dupatta with Haath Jaali

A rare and exceptionally refined example of Lucknow’s highest embroidery tradition, this Ivory Ek Taar Chikankari Dupatta with Haath Jaali represents the pinnacle of artisanal skill, patience, and heritage craftsmanship.
Hand embroidered using the Ek Taar (single-thread) Chikankari technique, the dupatta features an intricate all-over floral jaal created with remarkable finesse. Every motif is worked using a single continuous thread, requiring flawless control and uniform tension a hallmark of the rarest and most technically demanding forms of Lucknowi Chikankari.
What elevates this piece further is the presence of Haath Jaali, the most prized and difficult element of traditional Chikankari. Created by delicately drawing and cutting the fabric threads by hand without net, machine, or inserts  the jaali forms a lace-like texture that appears almost weightless. This technique is mastered today by only a handful of senior artisans.
Rendered in soft ivory tones with subtle pastel undertones, the embroidery feels airy, graceful, and timeless. The surface remains light and breathable while displaying extraordinary depth and texture, making this dupatta a true heirloom of quiet luxury rather than ornamentation.
