(E) Silver Crafts  

ENAMELLED SILVER BIRDS, ANIMALS AND ARTICLES 

The ancient art of Enamelling,. Once popular with the Persians and Mughals, it now lies forgotten. Lords and kings used to appoint craftsmen who used to produce wonderful objects especially animals, birds and utensils. This intriguing art became a pulsating passion with us. Almost obsessed, we began a long and tedious search for artisans.But what is Silver Enamelling? Simply put, it is the technique of fusing a coloured glassy substance on silver. But not so simple, once you go into the details. More than half a dozen artisans work on a single piece. Guaranteed Pure Silver (92.5%) is moulded into the shape of a bird. Great concentration and patience is required for the same. To gently taper the tail of a bird, make it wafer thin at the end and perfect the form, at times takes more than a year. The animate sculpt, mixing of glass enamel, engraving, coating, baking, polishing, is infinitely difficult. The artisan hammers and chisels to engrave the motifs. Mixing colours in the right proportion to match the colouring of the bird is a tricky task. The silver pieces are filled with laquer (a natural resin )  to further strengthen and it goes on.So the whole weight of the articles are not actual weight of silver.But it’s the end result that really matters and that is a breathtaking, almost real to life, masterpiece.For each piece a collector’s delight and a connoisseur’s dream. Ebony Wood or Enamelled Silver is used for the Base/Stand of the Artifact. Price depends on the amount of silver used.
