Our Journey

The Craft Forms of Rajasthan: What Goes Into a Premloom Piece

Every Premloom piece begins with a specific tradition. It is never generic decor. Behind each one stand the craft forms of Rajasthan, passed down through generations of skilled hands.

Here is a short look at the craft forms of Rajasthan that go into our work.

Carving and metalwork

Wood-carvers shape mango and sheesham into frames, stands, and panels. Metalworkers cut, hammer, and finish lamps and figurines. Both skills demand years of practice, so the results feel effortless yet precise.

These are the crafts you can hold and feel.

The painted craft forms of Rajasthan

Painting carries much of the region’s storytelling. Folk artists add bright, joyful colour to terracotta and wood. Traditions like Pichwai and Mewar miniature painting add depth, devotion, and fine detail.

Because of these painted crafts, a simple object becomes a small work of art.

Clay and terracotta

Terracotta artisans shape clay by hand, dry it in the sun, and fire it in a kiln. Then they paint it in warm, earthy tones. The craft is ancient, yet it still feels fresh in a modern home.

Each finished piece keeps a very old skill alive.
