Making of Brass Product

Engraving

Engraving is the most refined and artistic of all the processes. The design that has to be engraved is first sketched on paper and then scaled-up according to the size of the product. Measurement is an important aspect to make the pattern look harmonious and lyrical. These are mainly inspired from different forms of nature like trees, flowers, birds and animals. The geometric ones have their influence from the Mughal architecture.

First, an outline of whole design is done with a fine engraving tool hammered with a wooden block. After that, broader tools are used to engrave the background and give depth to the pattern. These are often filled with colorful lac or enamel.
