Kashmiri Papier-mâché Cachepot

This extraordinary cachepot is as beautiful as a decorative object as it is a functional one. Entirely lined in brass, it is both protected from dampness and given a radiant, luminous finish.

Kashmiri Papier-Mâché is a centuries-old traditional craft originating in the Kashmir Valley of India, involving the shaping of paper pulp into objects such as boxes, vases, bowls, and decorative items. These pieces are then hand-painted with intricate floral, geometric, and nature-inspired motifs using fine brushes, and often finished with lacquer to produce vibrant, richly detailed works of art.
