Metal Wire Inlay Work Store

Metal wire inlay work or tarakashi was originated in Manipuri in UP. The art flourished under the patronage of the nawabs. Initially it was used for khadaon. Inlay is a means of ornamentation of a surface by setting of other materials into it. In wood inlay mainly brass or copper wires are used. The designs are trdaitional, depicting flora, fauna and geometrical patterns including the varieties of jali design. The recent increase in Metal Wire Inlay Work Store may be accounted for by the fact that metal inlay works have gained popularity not only as a work of art but also have found a utilitarian aspect.

These articles can be used as show pieces and also serve the purpose of gifts. With the ban on ivory, the plastic sheets began to be used as inlay material. In Manipuri tradition copper, brass and silver wire were twisted together, beaten with hammer and flattened before inlaying. This gave three color design specifications on the inlay surface. The collections of the existing Metal Wire Inlay Work Store elaborate this fact.

Inlay is a means of ornamentation of a surace by the setting of other materials into it. Mainly brass or copper wires are used in wood inlay. After cutting a desired size of wood from a bigger block a pattern, which was originally traced on a paper is transferred on it. Copper and brass metal is beaten into thin sheets and cut into fine wire. After inlay with brass wire or ivory, the wood is smoothened with a file and polished to give a better look. The raw material of a Metal Wire Inlay Work Store is Ebony wood and shisham wood. The piece is tehn decorated with brass wire, copper wire, ivory and plastic.
