FAQs

Traditional Indian miniature paintings originated in royal courts, notably flourishing under the Mughal Empire and Rajput kingdoms, where artists depicted courtly life, religious texts, and romantic poetry on paper or palm leaves.

These works typically utilise handmade paper, often termed Vasli, combined with natural mineral pigments, vegetable dyes, and sometimes genuine gold leaf applied with fine squirrel-hair brushes.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-ground pigments with subtle surface cracking, aged handmade paper with natural foxing, intricate brushwork visible under magnification, and often authentic calligraphic text borders.

They are best displayed in studies, libraries, or gallery walls using museum-quality framing with conservation glass to protect the delicate pigments from ultraviolet light damage.

Preservation requires keeping the artwork out of direct sunlight, maintaining stable relative humidity levels between 45 and 50 percent, and ensuring framing materials are acid-free.
