Fanfare Angel Decoration

£16.00 £12.50

This timeless Fanfare Angel decoration is the perfect addition to your Christmas tree décor. Its exquisite design boasts intricate detailing and elegant gold embroidery. 

Handmade in India using the traditional method of zardozi embroidery. Zari, (meaning gold), embroidery originated in Persia and reached India in the 12th century. It is a highly skilled embroidery technique that traditionally uses gold wires and jewels to embellish courtly robes. Zardozi work is a rare and respected craft, with skills passed down from generation to generation.

Comes with an attached gold thread ready for hanging.

Made by St Nicolas, who for over 30 years have worked with a small Christian charity in Thailand that helps disadvantaged rural women find work in their community, rather than being forced to leave home to work in a factory. Today, some 200 skilled women work at home sewing decorations, and many of them have been doing so for more than 10 years.
