Taking inspiration from the traditional paisley motifs
A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.

The Tanjore school of painting originated under the patronage of the Maratha rulers of Thanjavur, in the 17th century, and thrived over the years. These were originally painted on wood and depicted deities surrounded by ornate patterns embossed intricately. These paintings typically had gold and silver foil work, as well as semi-precious stones inlaid into the design.
Taking inspiration from the traditional paisley motifs, this low Tanjore Table is handmade from ___ (type) wood, and has embossed gold foil work with rich details hand painted in red and gold. Recreating the opulence of past, this table is an elegant addition for a home that values royal times of the artistic heritage and culture of our past.
