This nineteenth-century collection comprises three matching Indo-Persian decorative boxes in a lidded circular construction made from papier-mâché, paint, and lacquer. The exterior surfaces exhibit a vibrant maximalist wonderland of blue and gold colours, intricate Chinar leaf motifs, and floral foliage patterns with a smooth lacquered finish. The photograph reveals a central spherical container with a turned top finial alongside two cylindrical pots with removable domed lids. Measuring 7.5 cm high, 11.5 cm wide, and 11.5 cm deep for the largest pot, these items fit well on a sideboard top or mantlepiece in a living room, hallway, or study as striking decorative accents or small storage pieces for trinkets.

FAQs

Kashmiri papier-mache is a traditional craft brought to the Kashmir region in the 14th century by Sufi saint Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani and Persian artisans. It combines Persian decorative motifs with local Indian craftsmanship, evolving into a recognized technique for producing lightweight, decorated household objects.

Pieces are made by soaking recycled paper pulp in water, mixing it with binding adhesives, and pressing it onto wooden or plaster moulds. Once dried, the surface is smoothed with stone, coated with plaster paste, hand-painted with fine natural pigments using animal hair brushes, and finished with clear protective lacquer.

Authentic items display dense, hand-drawn floral or foliage brushwork, known as Naqashi, often incorporating gold accents and chinar leaf patterns. They feel lightweight yet solid, with slight organic irregularities beneath the lacquer coat indicating manual shaping and painting rather than machine printing.

Place a curated set of varying sizes together on a console table, bookshelf, or sideboard to serve as textural accents. Their detailed painted patterns create visual contrast when set against neutral minimalist backdrops or paired with modern wood and stone surfaces.

Clean papier-mache objects using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. Keep the items away from damp environments, high humidity, and direct sunlight to prevent cracking of the paint layer or distortion of the pulp body.
