About the Artwork +

Originating in Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh, the Indian art of Taarkashi, or "wire work," is particularly celebrated as a notable heritage of Rajasthan. This technique meticulously embeds slender brass, copper, or silver wires into wood, often forming the detailed floral and geometric patterns found on antique palace doors, sometimes alongside ivory. This exquisitely handcrafted Tea Coaster with Stand by Gaurav Shakya beautifully celebrates the age-old Indian art of Tarkashi, where fine brass wires are inlaid into wood to create delicate, ornamental designs. Made from premium Sheesham wood, known for its rich grain and natural durability, each 4x4 inch coaster is adorned with an elegant brass wire inlay featuring a graceful circular leaf wreath pattern. The meticulously arranged leaves create a harmonious, symmetrical ring that symbolizes unity and natural elegance, their slender, pointed forms gleaming softly against the deep, warm tones of the polished Sheesham surface. This exquisite contrast of gold-toned brass and dark wood adds a refined, sophisticated charm to any tabletop, making these coasters as much decorative pieces as they are functional dining accessories. The set comes complete with a matching handcrafted wooden stand, designed for convenient and stylish storage, ensuring your table remains organized and artfully adorned. Gaurav Shakya’s mastery lies in his ability to infuse contemporary minimalism with traditional craftsmanship, and this Brass Wire Wreath Pattern Coaster Set stands as a testament to that philosophy. Ideal for both everyday use and special occasions, these coasters protect surfaces while offering a visual treat steeped in heritage. Perfect as a thoughtful gift or a personal indulgence, this Tarkashi set elevates the ordinary act of serving tea or coffee into an experience of aesthetic delight, reviving India’s rich artisanal traditions for the modern, art-conscious home.

    Tarkashi Craft


    Tarkashi, also known as metal wire inlay or brass wire inlay, is an ancient art form that originated in India. This intricate craft involves embedding fine metal wires, typically brass or copper, into the surface of wood to create ornate patterns and designs. The result is a stunning visual contrast between the metal and the wood, making Tarkashi a popular decorative technique in furniture, musical instruments, and other wooden artifacts.  History and Tradition While the exact origin of Tarkashi is unclear, it is believed that it was practiced in regions known for their woodworking and metalworking traditions. The craft flourished during the Mughal era, with artisans incorporating intricate metal inlay designs into wooden structures, doors, and furniture, often for royal courts and aristocratic households.  The designs often draw inspiration from traditional Indian motifs, such as floral patterns, geometric shapes, and religious symbols. Religious and spiritual themes, with designs depicting Hindu deities, or religious narratives can also be seen in Tarkashi craft. Technique The technique of Tarkashi requires a high level of skill and meticulous attention to detail. The artisans begin by sketching the desired design on the seasoned wooden surface then shallow grooves are carved along the lines of the pattern using specialized tools like chisel and hammer. Brass or copper wires are carefully hammered gently into the wood following the contour of the design. After the metal wires are inlaid, the wooden surface is smoothed and polished to create a seamless finish.  FAQs Is Tarkashi only used for decorative purposes? While Tarkashi is primarily used for decorative purposes, the intricate metal inlay also adds durability and strength to wooden objects. However, the main appeal lies in its aesthetic beauty and the visual intricacy of the designs. How long does it take to create a Tarkashi piece? The time required to create a Tarkashi piece varies depending on the complexity of the design and the size of the item. Simple designs may take a few days, while more intricate pieces can take several weeks to complete. Can I learn Tarkashi? Yes, learning Tarkashi requires dedication to mastering the techniques of wood carving and metal inlay. MeMeraki offers workshops or apprenticeships where you can learn the basics of this intricate art form.
