Ancient Crafts of Rajasthan - Indian painted furniture

If you want to add an extra zing to your living room, then you may place a hand-painted sofa set or for that matter, a center table from the state of Rajasthan in the Indian subcontinent. This will not only add colors to your home but at the same time, make sure stand apart from the rest. Like other ancient crafts of this desert state, wooden furniture bears a long tradition. Particularly, the cities of Jodhpur and Kishangarh are popular for their distinct styles and craftsmanship.

Mango, Rose and Acacia Arabica are woods that are most favored by the artisans. First of all, the furniture piece is made and finished, and then paint is applied on the finished item, followed by a final coat of varnish. You will find almost every kind of painted furniture - low chairs, small chairs, stools, wine racks, doors, cupboards, paneled screens, trunks, cabinets, windows, and much more. A symphony of vibrant shades is used for decorating these furniture pieces.

Paintings on furniture from Kishangarh illustrate Mughal influence, with stylized features like elongated necks, almond shaped eyes, muted colors and slender fingers. Furniture pieces from Jodhpur have antique, quaint charm with typical ethnic combinations of hues. Decorative pieces have richly carved borders along with images of Rajput emperors and empresses as well as and Hindu Gods.

Stylized floral designs picked out with golden foil turn out these stunning pieces in beautiful combinations of black, green, red, deep blue or yellow. Whether it is a vase, water pot, jewelry box, bowl, smoking pipe, lantern or contemporary pieces like bathroom ware, entrance décor pieces, Indian painted furniture are breathtakingly beautiful.
