Cycle Wall plates in Tarkashi by Gaurav Shakya

Hailing from Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh, Taarkashi, meaning "wire work," is a distinctive Indian art form notably prevalent in the heritage of Rajasthan. It involves precisely embedding thin metal wires (brass, copper, or silver) into wood, often seen in the intricate floral and geometric patterns adorning old palace doors, sometimes alongside ivory inlays. This exquisite Cycle Wallplate Tarkashi Set of 3 by Gaurav Shakya is a fine example of traditional craftsmanship meeting contemporary aesthetics. Crafted meticulously in rich, dark wood, each wallplate showcases the timeless Indian art form of Tarkashi — a technique involving intricate brass wire inlay into wood. each adorned with delicate brass inlay designs of vintage-style bicycles carrying charming baskets of foliage and flowers. The bicycles are artistically rendered, with finely detailed wheels, frames, and handle designs, while the lush floral baskets exude a sense of rustic elegance and nostalgic charm. The contrast of the gleaming brass against the deep brown wood grain enhances the visual appeal, making these wallplates a perfect blend of tradition and modernity. Ideal for living rooms, patios, cafés, or any cozy corner, this set brings warmth and character to any space. Beyond their decorative allure, these plates reflect the heritage of Indian Tarkashi craftsmanship, preserving a centuries-old technique in a design language that appeals to contemporary sensibilities. Each plate is handcrafted, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike, making them unique collectibles. Gaurav Shakya’s thoughtful design celebrates the simplicity of rural life and the beauty of hand artistry, transforming humble wall décor into statement pieces that tell a story. This Cycle Wallplate Tarkashi Set is not just home décor, but a testament to India’s rich artistic legacy reimagined for the modern home.
