THE CRAFT

A Guardian of Wood, Memory, and Kashmir’s Heritage Craft

Carved in Srinagar from fallen Kashmiri walnut wood, this vase keeps alive a 600-year dialogue between chisel and wood. Each piece begins with wood patiently air-dried for up to a year, shaped by a master's hands, and finally rubbed with walnut oil, allowing the grain to emerge and deepen like ancestral memory - a testament to patience, resilience, and enduring legacy in craft.

Designed for both function and presence, it serves as a commanding centerpiece that celebrates Kashmiri carving traditions. Best for dried botanicals. For fresh stems, use a glass insert to prevent water marks.
