PAINTED IN KASHMIR

A small canvas.
A world of detail.

Flowers, curling leaves and intricate borders turn an everyday object into something worth looking at closely.

In Kashmiri papier-mâché, the painted decoration is known as naqqashi. It is the painter’s eye for colour and the precision of the brush that give the surface its character.

  • Fine hand-painted ornament
  • Colour and detail to live with
  • A keepsake, or a thoughtful gift

The art of making

From paper to a painted treasure.

Shape, surface, colour and finish. A closer look at the traditional craft of Kashmiri papier-mâché.

  1. Paper to form

    Prepared paper pulp is shaped, then carefully dried to create the form.

  2. A smooth canvas

    The surface is smoothed and prepared, ready for the finest painted detail.

  3. Painted by hand

    A fine brush builds flowers, curling vines and paisleys, one detail at a time.

  4. Finished to keep

    A protective finish brings depth to the colours and completes the piece.

An illustrated guide to the traditional process. Each design has its own details.
