Mysore art - wooden marquetry

Check out our Mysore Art collection. Beautiful wooden marquetry art pieces for decorating your walls.
These priceless pieces are adorned with the traditional wooden marquetry  to make your walls come to life.

This art is  at least few centuries old handicraft patronized by various rulers of Mysore. The craft technique involves the gluing of different layers of wood together to form the final picture. Various colored woods are creatively used to achieve different patterns. Ivory was used for the white pattern which is now done with plastic. To prevent deforestation, this wood is now sanctioned only by the Forest Department of Karnataka state, India.

But what is so unique about the wooden marquetry art work? Well to know that you should actually hold one in your hand and get into the details. It is not a painting!!! It is similar to a jigsaw puzzle assembled from different pieces. 'Awesome' is the first word that strikes to you when you hold this art work. There are less than .5% in this world who actually know about this art form. 


Our Mysore Art collection is durable and lasts a lifetime. They are easy to handle and take care of. Comes with a small knot behind the frame to hang them safely on your room walls.


Have a look at our Mysore Art work to understand the beautiful Indian art and decorate your home with the masterpieces.
