Rajasthan is famous for its quality silver work. The Metalwares of Rajsathan and their design will tell you the glory of the Rajputs who ruled over the region for many centuries. These Rajsthan Metal Wares also have the Persian touch which tells you the close association they had with the Mughals of Agra and Delhi. Metalware includes a wide variety of items made from various metals. Some of these vintage and antique items are perfect to collect, use to decorate or simply use for daily purpose like dinning and drinking. The Metalwork of Rajasthan comprises artistic Brass work, enamelled, engraved and filigree work on silver. The silversmiths make products such as spice boxes, rose-water sprinklers, caskets, hukkas and highly-carved silver furniture. Designing by light impression or chasing is a technique widely practiced in Rajasthan where a blunt chisel is used to trace imprints of the design onto the metal surface. The floral pattern is engraved by chasing or punching away the background around the relief work which is then filled with black lac fusing the chasing to the surface. The floral designs glitter against a black background and the work is called marori. A black pattern on copper or brass background produces an artwork known as chrakwan. In Jaipur, both forms are practised and the lac used is in a variety of colours while Jodhpur and Udaipur are the other centres. Jaipur also has a tradition of brass sculptures, well finished and polished to a shine. Vivid enamel is also used to a highlight the tracery on beaten brassware. Traditional silver articles like 'handas' or water containers, spice bottles, baskets, trays and white metal articles command sizable export markets. Jodhpur is the main centre for handcrafted iron and is famous for its aluminium shields and trophies. Koftagiri, a technique where light-coloured metal is inlaid on a darker surface is found mainly in Jaipur, Ajmer, and Pushkar and is practised by very few artisans. It was used originally for weapons and arms. The metal surface gets a blue-black gloss after the application of a mixture of lime juice and sand mixture. The Rajasthan Metal Craft is also used for making Rajasthan Handicraft ornaments like earings, pendants, chains etc. At rareitis, connoisseurs of art can visit the website for Rajsthan Metal Art online shopping and go through our choicest of range of these exquisite product and select the best to buy Rajasthan Metal Art online.
