Why this one
912 g - two pounds - which is what stops it sliding around when you pull a tissue. That is the practical test most decorative tissue covers fail. The painting is layered freehand rather than printed: individual medallions in contrasting jewel tones inside a diamond border, with the brass hasp and the raised feet giving it the look of a small piece of furniture rather than a cover. Mango wood is the standard timber for painted Rajasthani woodwork: dense enough to carve and hold a hinge, and cut from trees at the end of their fruiting life rather than felled for timber, which is why it is the sustainable choice in Indian craft.
Which colourway
- Orange - orange and blue lid and border, with a blue floral tile panel
- Green - green lid and border, with a warm red and orange floral tile panel
Both are painted on natural mango wood, so the raw grain shows at the edges and the feet. Check the photographs - these are strong saturated colours, not muted ones.
Where it works
Coffee table, console, bedside, guest bathroom, or a desk. It is one of the few pieces of Indian decor that earns its place by being used several times a day rather than looked at - which is also why it is the piece guests notice.
Gifting
Housewarming, Diwali, a wedding, or a hostess gift. It is useful, it is not breakable, and it does not assume anything about the recipient's decor beyond a willingness to have colour in the room.
Care
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Keep water and cleaning sprays off the painted surface, and do not soak it. Painted mango wood does not like standing damp or direct all-day sun.
