About Kashmiri Papier Mache
Kashmiri papier mache is made from layers of paper pulp that are shaped, dried and smoothed, then painted in the traditional Naqashi style with fine brushes. Each piece can take days to complete, which is why no two trays are exactly alike.
Ways to Use It
Use this decorative tray to serve, to organize a coffee table or console, or simply to display as shelf or wall art. It also makes a memorable gift for a housewarming, wedding or festive occasion.
Care
Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Keep away from water, direct sunlight and heat. Colors and patterns may vary slightly because each tray is handmade.
Why You’ll Love It
This papier mache paisley tray is painted freehand by Kashmiri artisans and finished with protective lacquer, so it is as happy on a coffee table or sideboard as it is hung on a wall. Use it to present sweets, candles or small treasures, or give it as a housewarming, wedding or festive gift. Small variations in the brushwork are part of its handmade charm.
