FAQs

Hoshiarpur craftsmanship originated in the Punjab region of India and gained immense popularity during the British colonial period in the 19th century, known for intricate brass wire inlay on native timbers.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from dense regional hardwoods like shisham or sheesham, meticulously hand-carved with floral or geometric motifs and inlaid with fine brass wire and resin.

Genuine items feature hand-cut brass wire inlay rather than stamped metal sheets, visible tool marks from manual carving, age-related patina on the wood, and traditional joinery methods on the reverse.

Such decorative pieces serve as striking focal points above a mantelpiece or console table, contrasting effectively against minimalist neutral walls or complementing eclectic maximalist schemes.

Maintain the wood and metal by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, and keeping the item away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations.
