The Paper Mache art form came into India in the late 14th century from Persia (Iran) and found home in the Kashmir valley in Northern India. Individually hand-painted by a cluster of artisan families that have been involved in this intricate art form for generations, these baubles are exquisite pieces of art to decorate your Christmas tree.

The plain paper mache objects are first sanded to obtain a fine surface, followed by a base paint. It then gets into the hands of the skilled artisans who work their magic on each object, one at a time. Finally a coat of varnish is applied to give it strength and lend it a rich glossy look.

You will notice that these lovely decorative objects obtain a rich vintage effect as they age gracefully. A collector's edition really and something you would want to treasure and pass on to your next gen.
