FAQs

Zardozi embroidery is a traditional Persian and Indian textile technique using metallic threads, historically crafted for royal courts. When framed as standing fire screens in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, these objects combined South Asian textile artistry with European domestic furniture forms.

These screens typically feature silk or satin backings mounted within timber frames, often made from mahogany, rosewood, or teak. The decorative surface incorporates metallic wire, sequins, metallic couching threads, and occasionally padded bullion work.

Authentic period embroidery features real metal wire that exhibits natural tarnish or oxidisation over time, unlike modern synthetic substitutes. The backing fabric displays hand-worked couching stitches, while the wooden frames exhibit traditional joinery and hand-carved or inlaid details.

An embroidered screen acts as a focal point when placed in front of an unused fireplace, within a hallway alcove, or alongside dark wood cabinetry. The metallic textures and architectural motifs provide visual contrast against neutral or contemporary backgrounds.

Position the item away from direct sunlight, dampness, and active heat sources to prevent timber warping and thread degradation. Dust the wooden frame using a dry cloth, avoiding contact with delicate metallic threads and loose sequins.
