Handcrafted Kashmiri Papier-Mâché Jewellery Box — Handmade Indian Artisanal

    Description

    Handcrafted Kashmiri Papier-Mâché Jewellery Box.

    A jewellery box that brings a warm, quietly luxurious touch to your home, crafted from hand-painted kashmiri papier-mâché by Indian artisans.

    Designed as a statement accent rather than a mass-produced piece, it invites compliments, curiosity and slow, appreciative moments around your home.

    What Makes This Piece Special

    • Handcrafted jewellery box made from hand-painted kashmiri papier-mâché — each piece has its own subtle variations.
    • Designed to feel substantial and long-lasting, with a focus on quality over quantity.
    • Thoughtfully sized for modern homes, so it works equally well in compact and larger spaces.

    Craft Background

    Kashmiri papier-mâché, or kar-e-qalamdani, dates to the 14th century when Persian artisans introduced the craft to the valley. Paper is hand-pulped, mixed with natural starch, shaped in moulds and sun-dried, then coated with gesso for a smooth painting surface. Artisans paint florals, chinar leaves and miniature motifs using ultra-fine brushes and traditional pigments. Several layers of hand-applied lacquer add sheen and durability. Because every stage is done by hand, subtle variations in pattern and finish are natural and reflect Kashmir’s enduring artistic heritage.

    Styling Ideas

    • Keep on your dressing table to store rings, earrings and delicate keepsakes.
    • Place by the entryway as a safe spot for keys and small essentials.
    • Gift as a special box that can hold treasured notes, jewellery or mementos.
