Antique Mustard Gold Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjipuram Butta Saree with Handwoven Zari Paisley Buttas and Deep Forest Green Mayil Border

Antique Mustard Gold gives this handwoven pure silk Kanjipuram saree a beautifully burnished warmth, moving between turmeric, muted olive-gold and antique yellow as the silk changes through light. Petite warm-gold zari buttas are placed across the open body, while larger handwoven zari paisley buttas appear at measured intervals, their elongated forms creating distinct points of ornament against the glowing silk.

This is a confirmed Butta composition in pure mulberry silk, with individual zari motifs woven at measured intervals across the body rather than as a continuous pattern, and larger paisley and medallion forms appearing as distinct focal points. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 14 to 18 active days on the loom, although individual weaving time varies. Woven for Idam Living by skilled artisan families in the Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu. Read our story.

Body, Border and Pallu: The handwoven paisley buttas are given generous space to remain individually visible, each curved motif woven directly into the silk in warm gold zari while smaller buttas create a quieter rhythm around it, letting the Antique Mustard Gold colour itself remain one of the most important features of the saree. The Deep Forest Green Mayil border frames the body with an intricate sequence of warm-gold zari registers, including repeating Mayil forms set inside richly woven traditional panels, geometric lattice work and leaf-like edging. The pallu becomes richer still, developing into an extensive metallic field of circular, floral and geometric forms against the dark green silk.

Styling: Pair it with Deep Forest Green to connect directly with the border and pallu, or choose Antique Mustard Gold for a softer tonal look. Traditional or antique gold jewellery complements the paisley buttas and Mayil border naturally, and the saree suits weddings, temple celebrations and formal family gatherings.
