Brass Tarkashi Coaster: Leaves on Sheesham Wood (set of 5) by Gaurav Shakya

The captivating Indian art of Taarkashi, meaning "wire work," though with origins in Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh, is a prominent feature of Rajasthan's heritage. It's characterized by the precise embedding of delicate metal wires – brass, copper, or silver – into wood, creating intricate floral and geometric designs frequently seen on the aged doors of Rajasthan's palaces, sometimes enhanced with ivory. This stunning Leaf Design Brass Inlay Tea Coaster by Gaurav Shakya is a remarkable showcase of the timeless Tarkashi craft, where fine brass wires are meticulously hand-inlaid into rich Sheesham wood, creating a symphony of natural elegance and artistic precision. Each coaster, crafted from premium, sustainably sourced Sheesham wood, features an exquisite dual-leaf motif — delicate, fan-shaped leaves gracefully curving in harmonious balance. The intricate brass inlay work captures the fine veining and organic flow of the leaves, their slender stems and gently arched forms standing out in shimmering contrast against the warm, chocolate-toned wood grain. This perfect marriage of natural materials and artisanal expertise not only elevates the aesthetic of any table setting but also reflects a centuries-old tradition of Indian woodcraft. The set includes a thoughtfully designed matching wooden stand, blending seamlessly with the coasters while providing both style and functionality for neat, convenient storage. Gaurav Shakya’s mastery lies in his ability to reinterpret classical motifs into contemporary designs, making this Leaf Design Brass Inlay Work on Sheesham Wood ideal for modern homes that appreciate heritage artistry. Whether used for casual tea moments or formal gatherings, these coasters serve as both protective pieces and artistic accents. Their refined craftsmanship and earthy elegance make them an ideal gift for those who cherish handcrafted luxury and cultural narratives woven into everyday living. It’s a testament to India’s rich craft traditions, lovingly preserved and beautifully adapted for today’s discerning aesthetes.
