The Victoria and Albert Museum in London holds a sample of the famous chikan fabric. It was made in Lucknow at the beginning of the twentieth century and measures 40.1 x 30 cm. This sample includes two delicately embroidered bands or cuffs, which would be cut out to be sewn onto a garment. The pale brown embroidery threads are muga silk, often added to the chikan fabrics from Lucknow.
