Midnight Black Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjivaram Butta Saree with Multicolour Floral Zari Jaal and Antique Gold Border

Midnight Black gives this handwoven pure silk Kanjivaram saree remarkable depth, moving between black, charcoal and softened graphite as light travels across the silk. Against this dark ground, an intricate multicolour floral zari jaal unfolds through large blossoms, curling stems, leaves and smaller flowers. Raspberry, burgundy, muted rose, peach, olive, sage and antique gold are woven directly into the botanical forms, creating a richly layered coloration rather than a single metallic motif.

This is a confirmed Butta composition in pure mulberry silk, with an intricate multicolour floral zari jaal woven across the body rather than uniformly repeated motifs. 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: Individual petals shift between darker burgundy and warmer rose, while olive and sage soften the foliage, and antique gold moves through stems, outlines and selected details, catching the light without overwhelming the black silk beneath, the large flowers linked by branching vines, smaller blossoms and leaves to give the body the visual continuity of a woven floral jaal. The border brings a more structured rhythm beneath this expressive body, antique-gold zari arranged through a broad micro-geometric field and fine scrolling registers against Midnight Black, while the pallu becomes considerably richer, developing into an expansive burnished-gold zari surface built from dense repeated geometry and subtle ornamental bands.

Styling: Pair it with Midnight Black for a refined tonal treatment, or draw from the floral palette with deep raspberry, muted rose or antique gold. Sculptural gold jewellery works beautifully with the burnished zari, while garnets or darker coloured stones can echo the floral tones. This saree suits evening weddings, receptions and festive dinners.
