Art & Décor

Bukhara Brassware

Crafted in the 14th century Timurid art of metalworking. Hand chiseled, fired and sanded, often multiple times, for a masterful finish and lustre. All fascinating examples of brass relief work accentuated by a unique blackening of the lowered field.

Uzbek Calligraphy

Watercolours inspired by exquisite 14th century calligraphy on the Bibi Khanum Mosque, Samarkand. Each replica is a tribute to the art of writing, so highly revered and patronized during the Timurid period.

Raku Ceramic

The work of a celebrated raku ceramist, these eclectic ceramic kaftans are testimony to a art that originated in 16th century Japan, travelled the silk route and was adopted by an already rich pottery tradition in Turkey.
