A set of 3 hand painted wall plates.
 
Design story:
The artisans at Jos and Fine, guardians of this legacy, shaped the plate with care, its turquoise surface echoing the cool, tranquil hues of Dal Lake at dawn. With fine brushes and natural pigments, they painted a flourishing bouquet: bold, fiery peonies in crimson and pink, symbolizing prosperity and romance, their petals curling like the mountain winds. Delicate blue forget-me-nots and soft purple violets were added, their tiny blooms a tribute to the enduring memory and intuition found in Kashmir’s wildflowers, inspired by the region’s lush gardens and folklore.
 
The plate’s deep blue border, adorned with intricate golden scrollwork, mirrors the geometric and floral motifs passed down through Kashmir’s age-old crafts, blending Persian influences with local artistry. Each stroke carries the patience and precision of artisans who have honed their skills over decades, ensuring no two pieces are alike. Jos and Fine, renowned for their hand-knotted carpets, pashmina shawls, and papier-mâché goods, infuse this wall plate with the same dedication, drawing from the valley’s natural beauty and cultural heritage to create a masterpiece that transcends time.
 
Now, this wall plate hangs as more than a decorative piece—it’s a window into Kashmir’s paradise, a celebration of Jos and Fine’s craftsmanship, and a bridge to the region’s storied past. Each glance at its vibrant blooms invites you to connect with the artisans’ legacy and the timeless beauty of nature that inspires their work.
