FAQs

Kashmiri papier-mache, known locally as Kar-i-Qalamdan, dates back to the 15th century and was patronised by royal courts, heavily influenced by Persian and Mughal artistic traditions.

Authentic pieces are crafted from macerated paper pulp or layered paper strips, moulded over wooden forms, then meticulously hand-painted with natural pigments and sealed with layers of protective varnish.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the weight, hand-mixed mineral pigments, fine brushwork details, natural ageing of the lacquer, and the texture of the fibrous core beneath the surface.

These decorative objects add rich colour and historical texture when displayed on bookshelves, sideboards, or coffee tables, contrasting effectively against minimalist modern furniture.

Keep items away from direct sunlight and high humidity. Clean gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and avoid using any water, chemical solvents, or abrasive polishes.
