How it is made
Kashmiri papier-mâché starts as paper pulp that is pressed over a mould, dried and smoothed by hand (sakhtsazi). A naqash then paints the design freehand with fine brushes in the traditional naqashi style, and the piece is sealed with coats of lacquer for a soft, glossy finish. Because every piece is painted by hand, colours and details vary a little from the photos.
Uses and gifting
Use it on a dining table, kitchen counter or bathroom shelf. A pretty housewarming or birthday gift.
Care
Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from water, direct heat and long hours of strong sunlight, and do not use cleaning sprays or polish.
