Tarkashi Art

Explore the Elegance of Handcrafted Tarkashi Art

Tarkashi is not merely an art form—it's a careful coordination of metal and wood. At Ethnic India Handicrafts, we present to you a special collection of Tarkashi art that honours this age-old craft from Rajasthan. Each item showcases delicate brass wire inlay work on mature wood, creating artwork that is steeped in tradition and elegant in detail.

Whether you’re a collector, a decor enthusiast, or someone who appreciates heritage crafts, this is the perfect place to buy Tarkashi art and bring timeless beauty into your space.

What Makes Tarkashi Art So Special?

Tarkashi is a traditional art in India. Talented artisans intricately etch patterns onto hardwood and inset it with slender brass wires. A dramatic visual combination of warmth and wood contrasts beautifully with metal glimmering. 

These crafted items demonstrate not only art, but patience and heritage. Every Tarkashi art is unique, so the item you purchase is an authentic piece.  

How to Care for Tarkashi Art Pieces

Tarkashi is a fine and delicate art, and with a little care, your pieces will last beautifully for generations. Here’s what you need to do when you buy Tarkashi craft for home decor:

• Keep away from direct sunlight to preserve the natural tones of the wood and prevent fading.
• Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth to avoid scratches on the brass inlay.
• Avoid moisture or water as it can damage the wood and loosen the inlay work.
• Do not use chemicals to clean it. An occasional gentle wood polish is sufficient to bring back the shine.
