FAQs

Kashmiri papier-mache, known locally as Kar-i-Qalamdani, is a traditional handicraft originating in Kashmir, introduced from Persia in the 15th century, where paper pulp is moulded and meticulously hand-painted with intricate motifs.

These items typically combine a papier-mache or wooden core with leather gussets, brass rivets, and a metal or wooden nozzle, finished with hand-applied mineral pigments and protective varnish.

Authentic pieces often exhibit signs of age such as fine craquelure in the lacquer, genuine wear to the leather, hand-ground pigments, and traditional Persian-influenced miniature painting styles rather than modern machine printing.

Vintage bellows can be mounted as wall art near a hearth, displayed flat on a mantelpiece, or rested beside a fireplace to add textural interest and historical character to a room.

Keep the object away from direct heat sources and high humidity, dust gently with a dry microfibre cloth, and avoid using liquid cleaners or harsh chemicals on the painted and lacquered surfaces.
