Antique Brass embossed Wave fronted sideboard

This brand new Indian Brass embossed sideboard is created using the same method as a our White Metal furniture. Brass sheets are embossed by hand with traditional Rangoli patterns, with a method that has not changed for centuries. Wooden blocks or dye are carved by hand with all the different patterns and the brass sheets are hammered over the dye to create the repeating motifs seen on the close up image. Exactly the same method has been used for hundreds of years, traditionally the metal of choice was silver and embossed silver furniture has adorned the palaces of Rajasthan since the arrival of the Moguls from Persian in the sixteenth century. This time honoured technique has been given a new twist with these Brass metal sheets. The brass is first treated to give an Antique feel before being embossed and then expertly applied to the Sheesham wood sideboard.
