FAQs

Hoshiarpur in Punjab became a primary centre for inlay craftsmanship during the nineteenth century, producing decorative furniture and household objects for both domestic markets and British export. The style incorporates intricate floral and geometric patterns hand-cut from bone, ivory, or brass, embedded into dark hardwoods.

These trays are typically constructed using dense hardwoods such as dark rosewood or teak, which provide structural stability and visual contrast. The inlaid decorative elements are fashioned from hand-carved camel bone, mother-of-pearl, or brass wire, secured within pre-chiseled recesses.

Authentic pieces exhibit minor variations in the shape and alignment of individual inlay tiles, reflecting hand-crafted assembly rather than modern machine production. The timber base generally shows age-appropriate oxidation and natural wear around hand-carved handles and borders.

Position the tray on an upholstered ottoman, coffee table, or sideboard to group smaller decorative objects, glassware, or books. The contrasting ivory-toned inlay adds visual texture and geometric interest to contemporary neutral rooms.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals or excessive water that can loosen the adhesive holding the inlay. Maintain a stable indoor humidity level to prevent the hardwood base from warping or cracking over time.
