Provenance
Printed wood pillar candle holders in deep maroon - the colour of aged copper, of sindoor, of the evening sky at the last moment before the sun sets. Tamra is Sanskrit for copper: both the metal and its characteristic colour, which ranges from the orange-red of new copper to the deep warm maroon of the aged vessel. In Indian ritual life, copper has always been the metal of sacred use - the tamra patra of puja, the water vessel of the festival, the plates and lamps of ceremony. The colour carries that weight.
These holders place the maroon ground as the primary statement. The printed ornament is present on the surface, but the deep tone of the ground is what the piece is - a colour that belongs to ceremony, to the evening, to the kind of occasion that warrants light. In North Indian homes, the lit candle or diya is rarely a neutral act; these holders understand that register.
Disclaimer
- These holders are handcrafted in wood with a printed surface. Variations in tone and colour are a natural feature of the process.
- Minor differences in print registration or surface texture should be understood as the signature of individual craft, not a defect.
