Chikankari is a traditional embroidery style from Lucknow, India. Translated, the word means embroidery (thread or wire), and it is one of Lucknow's best known textile decoration styles. 

Chikankari may have existed in India in the 3rd century BC ,as Megasthenes refers to ‘flowered muslin’ in his writing. But the art of white floral embroidery was lost until revived in the Moghul courts in the 16/17th century. It is possible it was done under the aegis of Nur Jahan, who was a patron of the arts.
It seems to have originated in Bengal, but in time the karigars (artisans)  migrated to Lucknow where they were patronised by the Nawabs of Oudh.
The art was influenced by the jaalis of Persian and Moghul architecture and the name may be derived from ‘chick’ or window covering.

These dinner napkins are a work of art and patience taking the artisan days to embroider by hand using a white thread on a crisp white cotton fabric.

Each set has a unique and different design which may be different from the one pictured.
Sold as a set of 1 Table Runner, 4 Placemats & 4 Dinner Napkins.


100% Cotton.
Machine wash cold on a  gentle cycle.

Craftsmanship & Creation

What's inside that really matters

Material Integrity

—

Your piece has been made using materials selected for their
sustainability and authenticity. From natural fibres to handcrafted clay and
ethically sourced metals, we choose what feels honest, enduring, and gentle on
the earth. Sustainability isn’t a trend for us — it’s a principle woven into
every stage of creation.

The Craft

—

We are committed to sourcing and
promoting age-old crafts and techniques that have been passed down from
generation to generation. We believe that the value of these crafts lies not
only in their beauty and uniqueness, but also in their ability to connect us
with our cultural heritage and preserve traditional skills.

Our products are crafted by skilled artisans who
use their hands and time-honoured techniques to create pieces that are
one-of-a-kind.

The Intent

—

Each Curate Home piece is designed to elevate simple
rituals. Handmade with purpose, rooted in tradition, and crafted for a more
mindful way of living.

Our intent is not to fill homes with objects, but to enrich them with
stories, textures, and emotions that remind you to live mindfully.
