Feel Handcrafted - Exploring Rosewood and Mysore Inlay

The great Indian ruler, Tipu Sultan was patron of the exquisite Rosewood Inlay craft.  In Mysore, the wood is inset with acrylic to produce intricate inlay work. Traditional motifs depict the splendour of the Mysore landscape, rife with elephants & coconut trees.
A Master piece indeed. The convex wall mirror with rosewood frame is intricately hand carved, over days by our expert artisan, who has honed the skill for generations. The dark lustre of rosewood carved with floral motifs revives the royalty that once was in the princely town of ‘Mysore’, the birthplace of the craft.
Its not just a mirror it’s a testimonial of the craftsmanship of era bygone.
