Provenance
The Samara range from Jodhpur produces frames with a deliberate sense of accumulation — pattern, colour, and form layered into objects with visual weight. The craft behind Afsana draws simultaneously from the painted wood tradition of Rajasthan and from the Persian-influenced decorative vocabulary that entered the region during the Mughal period and never fully left: arabesque borders, geometric interlocking patterns, and the use of multiple colours within a single decorative field. The result is a surface that reads as historically grounded without being archaic.
Jodhpur's position as a major handicraft export centre means its workshops have always been in dialogue with multiple aesthetic traditions — Indian, Persian, European, and contemporary. The Samara range reflects that dialogue: it is not purely traditional and not purely contemporary, but sits in the productive middle ground where most of the best Indian craft objects have always lived. At 12×10 inches outer, Afsana is the largest frame in this collection and holds a 7×5 photograph at the centre of a surface that has its own claim on attention.
As with all handcrafted objects, slight variations in colour, surface finish, and dimensions are inherent to the making process — evidence of the hand, not defects.
